Authentication methods
CloudBeaver provides various authentication methods, configurable by administrators. These settings can be accessed and modified via Settings -> Administration -> Server Configuration, either during initial setup or at any later time.
The Community Edition (CE) of CloudBeaver supports various types of authentication. Detailed information about each type is available in the sections below.
This method allows users to interact with CloudBeaver without needing to authenticate. Further details can be found in the Anonymous access configuration article.
Local access requires users to authenticate using a username and password. Administrators create user accounts and assign roles to define user permissions. For more detailed information, see the Local access authentication article.
This authentication method is based on HTTP request headers. For more detailed information, see
the Reverse Proxy Header Authentication article.
In addition to the authentication methods supported by the Community Edition (CE), CloudBeaver Enterprise Edition (EE) offers a broader range of authentication options. For more detailed information on each method, please refer to the subsequent sections.
AWS IAM authentication allows logging in with IAM credentials, automatically assigning a 'User' role in CloudBeaver. For more details, see the AWS IAM Authentication article.
SSO (Single Sign-On) authentication can be used for access to CloudBeaver EE. Once an SSO user is authorized to CloudBeaver instance, the appropriate user is created in the application with the User role by default (you can find more information about SSO authentication at Single Sign On article).
CloudBeaver Enterprise Edition for AWS supports AWS IAM and SAML authentication methods, but local and anonymous authentication are not available in it.
