# Authentication

Bindplane must be configured to use LDAP, Active Directory, or another multi-user authentication mode. The default System authentication mode does not support multiple users.

{% hint style="info" %}
Single Sign-On (SSO) Authentication is only available on Bindplane Cloud. [Read more here​](broken://pages/I0GiHA3xd9AwaqTmWDoS)
