I followed the installation procedure by downloading awx from repos https://github.com/ansible/awx.git Once the installation is complete, I don’t see some features enabled in the settings section, such as **ldap** support. does it need to be installed in a different mode?  
the entire **Authentication** section is missing  
last version of awx

The team that’s charged with developing AWX is in the process of changing the way AWX is built. Part of the changes include moving away from supplying the pieces of authentication directly. See [Upcoming Changes to the AWX Project](https://www.redhat.com/en/ansible-collaborative/upcoming-changes-to-the-awx-project?intcmp=7015Y000003t7aWQAQ) as far as I know, there is no timeline for when this new ecosystem is available or how it will work.

If you’re trying to use an older version of AWX that is still supposed to include the built-in auth methods, you might be encountering this issue [Ansible AWX 24.6.1 version - Authentication Methods - #5 by kurokobo](https://forum.ansible.com/t/ansible-awx-24-6-1-version-authentication-methods/39552/5)

Hi, thanks for the reply! to install a previous version of awx is it enough to clone the repo specifying the branch?  
`git clone -b xx.x.x https://github.com/ansible/awx.git`  
and run

```auto
cd ~/awx
echo "Make web UI"
make clean/ui ui
echo "Deploy containers"
make docker-compose COMPOSE_UP_OPTS=-d

```
