Currently, all SSO related configurations (CAS, NTLM, Facebook Conncet, OpenID, Google , OpenIdConnect, OpenSSO) are stored into Company Portlet Preferences using the Settings framework.

Unfortunately, this has led to to a situation where once set, the instance settings can never be removed.  Consequently, the underlying system settings would never take effect once a portal administrator configured Instance Settings for those integrations.

 

This story will allow users to "delete" the instance setting and fall back to the underlying System Setting for the SSO related configurations.

This has no impact on LDAP settings since those already use ConfigAdmin directly and users can delete those settings using Config Admin (or via System Settings).
