> [@kurokobo](#): > > the traditional authentication metho Hi kurokobo, thanks for your response! Yes I’ve built the image without the latest source code from the devel branch. Yes, the traditional authentication method is visible and working Ok, the question is how to configure/add the external authentication method for LDAP having in count the topic published by gundalow: > [@Transitioning authentication and authorization (RBAC) to the new AWX architecture](https://forum.ansible.com/t/transitioning-authentication-and-authorization-rbac-to-the-new-awx-architecture/8602): > > Hi everyone We’re continuing our journey toward a[pluggable, services-oriented architecture](http://forum.ansible.com/t/refactoring-awx-into-a-pluggable-service-oriented-architecture/7404) for AWX and want to make you aware of changes that Red Hat engineering teams plan to make with external authentication and Role-Based Access Control (RBAC). As we mentioned [previously](http://forum.ansible.com/t/awx-ui-and-credential-types-transitioning-to-the-new-pluggable-architecture/8027), the new AWX architecture is designed to allow for code reuse across projects. The new pluggable architecture is also intended to minimize existing duplication of effort and decrease complexity for contributors. The change… Or we have to wait a new version of AWX that includes a new implementation to enable the authentication plugins? Thanks in advance!!
