Enabling both Liferay's default login and SAML login so that users can use either option

Issue

• I would like to configure and enable SAML login while also having Liferay's default login available to users so that they can have two options for logging in.

Environment

• DXP 7.4+
• Quarterly Release

Resolution

• This is the expected behavior for now. Liferay will abdicate to SAML every time if available, giving users who have SAML no option to use Liferay's default login. 
• The workaround is to have a "hidden" page (not included in nav) that includes a login portlet. This will ignore the SAML option and allow for a direct login through Liferay. 
• However, there is a feature request, LPD-27647, open that will allow users to select the authentication method even when SAML is configured.
