 # Authentication

+This chapter describes various ways to authenticate with Continuwuity.
 
 ## Authentication flows
 
 Continuwuity implements the following authentication flows:
 
 - **OAuth login** (also known as **next-gen auth**): clients redirect the user to Continuwuity's own login and registration page to complete the authentication process.
-- **Legacy login** (also known as the **UIAA** framework): clients provide their own UI to log in to or register with the server directly.
+- **Legacy login** (also known as the **User Interactive Authentication** framework): clients provide their own UI to log in to or register with the server directly.
 
-Different sets of clients support different flows, but most clients are moving towards next-gen auth. One can set which login mode(s) are allowed via the `compatibility_mode` variable of the `[global.oauth]` config file section.

 - **Delegated authentication** - in this mode, the server connects to an OpenID Connect identity provider for user authentication. This method allows for integrating with single sign-on services, but enabling it will disable legacy logins. See the [**delegated authentication documentation**](./authentication/oidc).

 Other registration methods are meant for **untrusted, public registration**. Care must be taken when allowing these modes of operation.
 
 ## Email configuration
 
-Continuwuity can be configured to send emails via an SMTP relay of your choice. These are used for verifying user email addresses and sending password resets links to them.
