Hey @Tanay_Acro,

There are 3 options I can think of but it all depends on if your AD is local or in Azure and how you have n8n embedded with your application.

  1. Use the LDAP option for user authentication - This can work with both on prem AD and Azure AD
  2. Use SAML - This can work with Azure AD and on prem AD
  3. If you are on pre 1.0 you could see if the now removed jwt option can work with something like Keycloak in front of n8n.

Hey @Tanay_Acro,

Both are covered in our documentation, I have put the links below for you. These are not embed specific features and are part of the main n8n application with the correct license.

LDAP: LDAP | n8n Docs
SAML: Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) | n8n Docs
