## Using mxisd Identity Server for authentication
If you wish to use the mxisd Identity Server for LDAP authentication instead of [matrix-synapse-ldap3](https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-ldap3) consult [Adjusting mxisd Identity Server configuration](configuring-playbook-mxisd.md#authentication).

## Authentication
[Authentication](https://github.com/kamax-matrix/mxisd/blob/master/docs/features/authentication.md) provides the possibility to use your own [Identity Stores](https://github.com/kamax-matrix/mxisd/blob/master/docs/stores/README.md) (for example LDAP) to authenticate users on your Homeserver. The following configuration can be used to authenticate against an LDAP server:
```yaml
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_enabled: true
# matrix-mxisd is the hostname of the mxisd Docker container
matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_endpoint: "http://matrix-mxisd:8090"

enabled: true
connection:
host: ldapHostnameOrIp
tls: false
port: 389
baseDNs: ['OU=Users,DC=example,DC=org']
bindDn: CN=My Mxisd User,OU=Users,DC=example,DC=org
bindPassword: TheUserPassword
