Sources

Sources allow you to connect authentik to an external user directory. Sources can also be used with social login providers such as Facebook, Twitter, or GitHub.

Find your source

Sources are in the following general categories:

• Protocols (Kerberos, LDAP, OAuth, SAML, and SCIM)
• Property mappings or how to import data from a source
• Directory synchronization (Active Directory, FreeIPA)
• Social logins (Apple, Discord, Twitch, Twitter, and many others)

For instructions to add a specific source, refer to the documentation links in the left navigation pane.

Add sources to default login page

To have sources show on the default login screen you will need to add them to the flow. The process below assumes that you have not created or renamed the default stages and flows.

1. Log in to authentik as an administrator and open the authentik Admin interface.
2. Navigate to Flows and Stages > Flows.
3. Click the default-authentication-flow.
4. Click the Stage Bindings tab.
5. Click Edit Stage on the default-authentication-identification stage.
6. Under Source settings, add sources to Selected sources to have them displayed on the authentik login page.

Bind a policy to a source

You can bind a policy to a source to control whether or not the users from the source can access an application.

For instructions, refer to Bind a policy to a source.
