Aurora offers a choice of authentication options:

• via IMAP (email account credentials)
• LDAP / Active Directory
• external services:
  • Google
  • Facebook
  • Twitter
  • Dropbox
• any custom authentication backend

With regard to external services, Aurora offers access to Google Drive and Dropbox file storage, and using special plugins for Google Drive and Dropbox integration respectively, it's possible to have those file storages as tabs in Files module.

Development platform

Aurora API allows for logging users in programmatically, and that can be done using single-sign on approach. Plus, it's possible to submit authentication details via POST or GET, which is especially handy in case of running Aurora and the other application on different systems.

Aurora offers the following APIs:

• PHP API you can use for integration purposes
• REST API allows for managing domains and users
• Web API for creating custom frontend interacting with Aurora backend
• JavaScript API lets you perform interface changes programmatically, e.g. add another user setting screen, modify menu layout, etc.
