Authentication

By default, users and passwords are created and stored locally on the NAV instance. It is possible to add in a second factor when authenticating (2FA/MFA).

NAV also supports authenticating users via an external service. The external methods NAV currently supports is authenticating with LDAP, and authenticating against the header REMOTE_USER, set by the web server.

• Multi-factor authentication
• Configuring NAV for LDAP authentication
• External web authentication (OAuth2, OIDC)
• External web authentication (REMOTE_USER)
