Authentication methods
The following authentication methods are available:
- Igloo: Sign in page requires users to enter their Igloo authentication credentials.
- SAML: Sign in page redirects to the configured IdP. Users must enter their SSO credentials to sign in.
- Igloo/SAML: Sign in page defaults to Igloo, but contains a button to navigate to the configured IdP. Users can enter their Igloo Authentication credentials from the default sign in page, or navigate to the IdP to enter their SSO credentials to sign in.
- LDAP: Sign in page requires users to enter their LDAP Auth credentials.

How to configure the authentication method
