Authentication

Overview

flow8 supports multiple authentication methods to meet varying security and integration requirements. Each method is designed to provide secure access to the application while allowing flexibility for different environments.

Supported Authentication Methods

1. Integrated Authentication

   • Utilizes a framework integrated authentication mechanics.
   • Supports 2FA and Passkey.

2. OAuth 2.0 (e.g., Microsoft 365)

   • Supports modern, secure authentication standard via OAuth.
   • Seemless integration into existing authentication processes.

3. LDAP Authentication

   • Enables authentication through a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
   • Ideal for organizations with centralized user management systems like Active Directory, other other compatible systems.

4. Custom Authentication

   • flow8 is extensible to allow other authentication methods as needed.
   • For example, token-based, API keys, or third-party service integrations.

Security Recommendations

• Use HTTPS for all communications to prevent interception of sensitive information.
• Regularly rotate credentials (e.g., Client Secret) and monitor access logs.
• Follow least privilege principles for all authentication configurations.
