Hi guys, I would please like to know whether there is any documentation on web authentication (LDAP/Password/Other) yet?

Hi @dirkbosman ! Thanks for reaching out. At this stage, no; I'm afraid. Documentation is pretty sparse around authentication. You can see the configuration options for it in the default configuration, though: https://github.com/airbnb/knowledge-repo/blob/master/knowledge_repo/app/config_defaults.py . Note that authentication only applies for the web app, not the tooling for accessing knowledge repositories via the CLI.

Does that help? If not, feel free to ask more specific questions!

Thanks for the feedback. Will look into this and ask questions later (if necessary :))

Hi everyone, I have some questions about setting up authentication, hope this is ok I post it here instead of a new issue...

1. Is there a way to authenticate without using OAuth or Authentication headers? For example, if I just have a small team and would like to have some small way of managing their credentials without a full-blown external solution to authentication?
2. Conversely I may wish to use the company's Azure Active Directory for authentication - is this compatible with the knowledge repo as it is set up?

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated! I know very little about OAuth flows and would really just like to set it up for my small team...
