You can configure your organization settings to allow users to authenticate
themselves using passwords, Google/GitHub OAuth, LDAP (currently on premises
only), and/or various other SSO methods (also currently on premises only).
By default, Zulip allows logging in via email/password, your Google account,
or your GitHub account. You can restrict users to logging in via only a
subset of these methods.
!!! tip ""
If you are unsure about what these mean, don't worry! Zulip
allows logging in via email and password by default.
LDAP and other SSO login methods are currently restricted to self-hosted
Zulips only, though contact us at support@zulipchat.com if that is a
blocker.
**Note:** If you are running your own server,
[read this](https://zulip.readthedocs.io/en/latest/production/authentication-methods.html)
first. Server configuration is needed for several of the authentication
methods listed above.
{settings_tab|auth-methods}
2. Toggle the checkboxes next to the following options to configure your organization's authentication methods:
* **Email** - Use an email and password created on Zulip to log in.
* **GitHub** - Use [GitHub](https://github.com/) accounts to log in.
* **Google** - Use [Google](https://google.com/) accounts to log in.
* **LDAP** - Use a [LDAP](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol)
username and password to log in.
* **RemoteUser** - Use a [Single-Sign-On](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single_sign-on)
system to log in.
!!! tip ""
Not all methods will show up by default. To enable more methods,
modify the `AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS` list in the
`/etc/zulip/settings.py` file.
2. Toggle the checkboxes next to the available login options.
