Authentication Mechanisms
XWiki Standard embeds several authentication mechanisms by default:
- Form authentication
- Basic authentication
In addition XWiki allows you to create your own authentication extension in order to integrate with any custom mechanism you might be using already (SSO, etc).
Additional authenticators are available as extensions on extensions.xwiki.org:
For more details on how to configure authentication check the Authentication page of the Administration Guide.
