Auth providers
Users are grouped by authentication providers:
- a single internal authentication provider called “Internal users”, which lets you add internal/local users one by one and specify a username and password for each.
- several external authentication providers, to which you can delegate user authentication via SSO (Single Sign-On). Users associated with an external authentication provider will be created in CTFreak on their first login.
Only administrators can edit authentication providers.
There must be at least one internal administrator user, so as not to lose access to CTFreak when external authentication providers are temporarily out of service.
Don’t hesitate to set up an external authentication provider for each partner company, and then assign each user the appropriate project roles.
