This folder describes third-party authentications supported by AWX. These authentications can be configured and enabled inside AWX.

When a user wants to log into AWX, she can explicitly choose some of the supported authentications to log in instead of AWX's own authentication using username and password. Here is a list of such authentications:
* OIDC (OpenID Connect)

On the other hand, the other authentication methods use the same types of login info (username and password), but authenticate using external auth systems rather than AWX's own database. If some of these methods are enabled, AWX will try authenticating using the enabled methods *before AWX's own authentication method*.

## Notes:
  * Enterprise users can only be created via the first successful login attempt from remote authentication backend.
  * Enterprise users cannot be created/authenticated if non-enterprise users with the same name has already been created in AWX.
  * AWX passwords of Enterprise users should always be empty and cannot be set by any user if there are enterprise backends enabled.
  * If enterprise backends are disabled, an Enterprise user can be converted to a normal AWX user by setting password field. But this operation is irreversible (the converted AWX user can no longer be treated as Enterprise user).
