# Enable Basic Form Authentication for Spinnaker via Halyard

If you want to enable Simple Auth for Spinnaker using Halyard: Create/update the `.hal//profiles/gate-local.yml` file, with these contents:

```
security.basicform.enabled: true
spring:
  security:
    user:
      name: 
      password: 
```

And then create/update the `.hal//profiles/settings-local.js`, with these contents `window.spinnakerSettings.authEnabled = true;`

Then, apply your change with `hal deploy apply`. To access Spinnaker, you will be prompted with a simple form to enter the username and password.
