SimpleLDAP: authenticate users against an LDAP server. OAuth2: authenticate users against a OAuth2 Authorization Server. ScramSha: authenticate users against credentials stored in a local database Plain: authenticate users against credentials stored in a local database. PlainPasswordFile: authenticate users against credentials stored in plain text in a local file. MD5: authenticate users against credentials stored in a local database.

The last five providers offer user management facilities too, that is, users can be created, deleted and passwords reset.
