CloudStack Authentication

Hello! I am a student and I'm doing work about authentication CloudStack. Does anyone could provide me a document or image that explains the authentication model, or a reference that I can use as an introduction? 

Thank you.

Hi Maria,

All the user authenticators broken up into plugins.

Best way to learn about them is to read some of the code:
https://github.com/apache/cloudstack/tree/master/plugins/user-authenticators

With Cloudstack it will attempt to use each authenticator on login. If one
fails it will try another, if they all fail the login fails. If one
succeeds the user is granted access.

Hope this helps, the developer list might be able to assist more.
