# User Authentication
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Synapse supports multiple methods of authenticating users, either out-of-the-box or through custom pluggable
|
||
|
|
authentication modules.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Included in Synapse is support for authenticating users via:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* A username and password.
|
||
|
|
* An email address and password.
|
||
|
|
* Single Sign-On through the SAML, Open ID Connect or CAS protocols.
|
||
|
|
* JSON Web Tokens.
|
||
|
|
* An administrator's shared secret.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Synapse can additionally be extended to support custom authentication schemes through optional "password auth provider"
|
||
|
|
modules.
