= User Authentication / Login

Authentication to the portal happens via OpenID Connect, the so called VSHN Account.
This IdP is provided by Keycloak at https://id.vshn.net/[id.vshn.net].
We use https://docs.allauth.org/[Django Allauth] to properly integrate into Django.

There is no user registration, password reset or other account management functionality in the portal.
All these processes are provided by the VSHN Account Keycloak system.

A user who can authenticate with a VSHN Account automatically gets access to the portal.
If no user exists in the portal yet, it will get automatically created and linked to the VSHN Account.
