This seems like a handy thing to be able to do since if you screw up configuring SSO you can’t get back into your site. I spent a week one day trying to get SSO configured, and now that it is configured correctly it seems that my account on the SSO (which I don’t control) is gone, so I can’t get in.

So, `script/discourse restore` fails because thor isn’t installed.

`gem install thor` fixes that, but then I’m still denied because:

```
URGENT: FATAL: Peer authentication failed for user "discourse"

```

Solving my immediate problem, I suppose I could turn off SSO from the Rails console. . .

**edit:** to disable SSO from the rails console:

```plaintext
cd /var/discourse
./launcher enter app
rails c
SiteSetting.enable_sso=false
exit
exit

```
