====The SAML Addon====

The SAML addon is used to add a range of different **authentication** options to ARDI.

As well as allowing you to authenticate against SAML services such as //Entra/Azure Active Directory// and //Google Workspaces//, it includes modules that allow you to connect ARDI to a range of 3rd party authentication systems, such as OAUTH, LDAP and database-powered user authentication.

This makes it possible to authenticate with a wide range of sources, even including Amazon Cognito or even Facebook.

We've included a few tutorials on getting specific sources up-and-running.

===Other Sources===

The system is powered by the [[https://simplesamlphp.org/|SimpleSAMLphp]] project, where you'll find a number of advanced tutorials for users who want to customise their integrations or integrate with products that aren't natively supported by our UI.
