The LMS supports several authentication methods, (Username/Password, SSO, Both). When your system is upgraded to LMS v4, Intellek will migrate your existing authentication settings from LMS v3. In LMS v4, you will have access to the Setup Authentication tool, which allows your organization to update and manage authentication methods at any time.
We recommended assigning a designated technical team member to manage this function within the LMS and ensure they have the appropriate administrative rights.
For clients remaining on LMS v3, Intellek will continue to support your existing authentication settings.
LMS v4 Authentication Overview 
LMS v4 features a Hybrid Authentication Model, enabling clients to support multiple authentication methods for their Users. Administrators can now configure supported authentication methods: Single Sign-on (Entra ID (Azure AD), ADFS, or OKTA), Username and Password, or Both using the LMS Setup Authentication tool.
The Authentication method can be configured directly from the Settings page.
