  1. Click Save to apply your changes.

Note

If you are accessing the controller directly and are having trouble getting your authentication to stay, in that you have to keep logging in over and over, try clearing your web browser’s cache. In situations like this, it is often found that the authentication token has been cached in the browser session and must be cleared.
