# Select authentication type

You can allow users to log in to LoadRunner Enterprise using their internal LoadRunner Enterprise passwords, LDAP passwords, or SSO authentication.

Note: All users using the system must be in the LoadRunner Enterprise database before they can be authenticated using one of the authentication types. For details, see Create or edit a user.

In this topic:

## Overview

The authentication method is defined in LoadRunner Enterprise Administration per tenant, on the basis of one type of authentication per LoadRunner Enterprise farm.

Note: We recommend using SSO or LDAP because they are a more secure type of authentication.

Authentication | Description
--- | ---
Application | LoadRunner Enterprise's built-in, native, internal user management. Enables the user to define a user name and password internally. Every authentication is executed with the Users table. For details, see Application authentication.
LDAP | Enables you to use your organization's LDAP system for authenticating LoadRunner Enterprise users. For details, see LDAP authentication.
SSO | Enables you to set up single sign-on (SSO) authentication for connecting to LoadRunner Enterprise. Each LoadRunner Enterprise can define one SSO configuration. For details, see SSO authentication.
