= Disabling {brandname} Server Authentication
In local development environments or on isolated networks you can configure
{brandname} servers to allow unauthenticated client requests.

.Procedure

. Remove any `security-realm` attributes from the `endpoints` configuration.
. Ensure that the Hot Rod and REST connectors do not include any
`authentication` definitions.

For example, the following configuration allows unauthenticated access to
{brandname}:

[source,xml,options="nowrap",subs=attributes+]
----
<endpoints socket-binding="default">
  <hotrod-connector name="hotrod"/>
  <rest-connector name="rest"/>
</endpoints>
