Authentication

Authentication is a fundamental aspect of securing access to nullplatform. This document provides an overview of the supported authentication methods: username and password, and SAML authentication with external Identity Providers ( IDPs).

Username & password

Username and password authentication, commonly known as 'basic authentication,' is our default method for user verification. With this method, you have to invite organization users, and each new member will receive an invitation email containing a temporary password.

SAML with external identity providers

SAML (Security Assertion Markup Language) is a widely adopted standard for enabling Single Sign-On (SSO) across multiple applications.

This document will guide you through the setup and configuration of SAML authentication with external IDPs, ensuring secure and seamless access to your application.

In the following sections, we will take a look into the configuration steps for implementing both authentication methods.

API key

API key authentication is an alternative method for securing access to nullplatform. This authentication method is particularly useful for programmatic access and automation scenarios. Users can obtain an API key to authenticate and interact with nullplatform programmatically.

Read the API key section for more information about this method.
