Sources

Sources allow you to connect authentik to an external user directory. Sources can also be used with social login providers such as Facebook, Twitter, or GitHub.

Find your source​

Sources are in three general categories:

  • Directory synchronization (Active Directory, FreeIPA)
  • Protocols (LDAP, OAuth, SAML, and SCIM)
  • Social logins (Apple, Discord, Twitch, Twitter, and many others)

For instructions to add a specific source, refer to the documentation links in the left navigation pane.

  2. Click on default-authentication-flow.
  3. Click the Stage Bindings tab.
  4. Chose Edit Stage for the default-authentication-identification stage.
  5. Under Sources you should see the additional sources that you have configured. Click all applicable sources to have them displayed on the Login page.
