There are two main types of integrations with authentik: **Applications** and **Sources**.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
## Applications
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
authentik integrates with many applications. For a full list, and to learn more about adding documentation for a new application, refer to the [Applications](../integrations/services/index.mdx) documentation.

## Sources
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
In addition to applications, authentik also integrates with external sources, including federated directories like Active Directory and through protocols such as LDAP, OAuth, SAML, and SCIM sources. Sources are a way for authentik to use external credentials for authentication and verification. Sources in authentik can also be used for social logins, using external providers such as Facebook, Twitter, etc.
