Third-party SSO Authentication

Scenario

Workspace supports multiple third-party authentication sources, including individual social authentication, enterprise social authentication, and enterprise authentication sources, providing simpler and more convenient login modes and better user experience for enterprise users. As an administrator, you can add, modify, and delete authentication providers.

Currently, switchover between OAuth2.0, LDAP, and two-factor authentication (TFA) is unavailable, and they cannot be enabled at the same time.
