+## Authentication
+
+[Authentication](https://github.com/kamax-matrix/mxisd/blob/master/docs/features/authentication.md) provides the possibility to use your own [Identity Stores](https://github.com/kamax-matrix/mxisd/blob/master/docs/stores/README.md) (for example LDAP) to authenticate users on your Homeserver. The following configuration can be used to authenticate against an LDAP server:
+
+```yaml
+matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_enabled: true
+
+# matrix-mxisd is the hostname of the mxisd Docker container
+matrix_synapse_ext_password_provider_rest_auth_endpoint: "http://matrix-mxisd:8090"
