Unrecoverable configuration loop in external auth control

Steps to reproduce

  • In Settings - General - External Authentication - set Default classification - Save
  • Set Service URL to <something that won't authenticate>
  • Check the box for "Enable classification control using an external service" - Save
  • This will put it into a configuration loop that will not allow you to remove the authentication check box, even if you remove everything in Default classification and Service URL. Image below:

What is the expected correct behavior?

User should be able to reconfigure the external auth settings.
