Support for multiple authentication methods

[a.slyzhko]

Hi everyone,

I’m working on adding Passkey (WebAuthn) authentication to EspoCRM.

However, in our setup LDAP is the primary authentication method and must remain enabled.

My question:

Does EspoCRM currently support using multiple authentication methods in parallel (e.g., LDAP as primary + Passkey as an additional login option)?

If not, is there a recommended extension point or planned roadmap for supporting multiple auth providers simultaneously?

Thanks in advance!

You should probably consider using a middle service such us authentik, where you can set multiple authentication methods

Thanks for the suggestion!

Unfortunately, introducing a separate middle authentication service (and maintaining an additional server plus hosting costs) would be too heavy for our current setup. We also don’t have other scenarios where such a service would be reused in the near future.

So for now this approach is not feasible for us.
I’ll continue exploring whether EspoCRM itself provides an extension point or roadmap for supporting multiple authentication methods in parallel.
