Redgate Monitor provides different options for authenticating users. Where possible it is strongly recommended to use OpenID Connect, which greatly improves security compared to other mechanisms by facilitating Single Sign-On, including enforcing centrally-configured measures like multi-factor authentication.

OpenID Connect is a protocol that enables Redgate Monitor to authenticate users against a variety of systems, including Active Directory (via ADFS), Microsoft Entra (formerly Azure Active Directory), Okta, and many more.
