Authentication methods
LangSmith supports multiple authentication methods for easy sign-up and login.
Cloud
Email/Password
Users can use an email address and password to sign up and login to LangSmith.
Social Providers
Users can alternatively use their credentials from GitHub or Google.
SAML SSO
Enterprise customers can configure SAML SSO
Self-Hosted
Self-hosted customers have more control over how their users can login to LangSmith. For more in-depth coverage of configuration options, see the self-hosting docs and Helm chart.
SSO with OAuth 2.0 and OIDC
Production installations should configure SSO in order to use an external identity provider. This enables users to login through an identity platform like Auth0/Okta. LangSmith supports almost any OIDC-compliant provider. Learn more about configuring SSO in the SSO configuration guide
Email/Password a.k.a. basic auth
This auth method requires very little configuration as it does not require an external identity provider. It is most appropriate to use for self-hosted trials. Learn more in the basic auth configuration guide
None
This authentication mode will be removed after the launch of Basic Auth.
If zero authentication methods are enabled, a self-hosted installation does not require any login/sign-up. This configuration should only be used for verifying installation at the infrastructure level, as the feature set supported in this mode is restricted with only a single organization and workspace.
