+# Nextcloud SSO & SAML Authentication
+:lock: App for authenticating Nextcloud users using SAML
+
+Using the SSO & SAML app of your Nextcloud you can make it easily possible to integrate your existing Single-Sign-On solution with Nextcloud. In addition, you can use the Nextcloud LDAP user provider to keep the convenience for users. (e.g. when sharing)
+
+The following providers are supported and tested at the moment:
+
+**SAML 2.0**
+
+- OneLogin
+- Shibboleth
+- Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS)
+
+**Authentication via Environment Variable**
+- Kerberos (mod_auth_kerb)
+- CAS
+- Any other provider that authenticates using the environment variable
+
+While theoretically any other authentication provider implementing either one of those standards is compatible, we like to note that they are **not** part of any internal test matrix.
