EonKube supports local authentication and integration with external authentication providers. Local authentication is the default authentication.

• Local authentication: Local authentication allows the system administrator to manage usernames and passwords via EonKube. This approach is ideal for keeping user management and security control in a simple way.
• External authentication: EonKube supports verifying user identities via external authentication services. This approach allows enterprises to integrate their existing authentication infrastructure such as AD/ LDAP, to achieve centralized user management and single sign-on (SSO) capabilities.
