Configuring authentication methods

Akuiteo enables you to manage user authentication with several methods:

• The Akuiteo-based authentication, that is not explained in this chapter. Users and their associated password are set up in the Desktop Application and are stored in the database.
• The LDAP authentication, where users are declared in an LDAP directory (Active Directory for example). Refer to Configuring the LDAP authentication.
• The SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) authentication, an open standard that makes it possible to use a single authentication on an identification portal for various applications. SAML is standardized and can therefore work with the product used in your company (Azure AD or Okta for example). Refer to Configuring the SAML authentication.
• The Oauth2 authentication, only used to make calls to Akuiteo's APIs. Refer to Configuring the Oauth2 authentication.
