You can define additional authentication configuration in the `identityProviders `section.
For the above example:
| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| authenticateRateLimiterMaxTries | AuthenticateRateLimiter defines under which circumstances we will block user. |
| authenticateRateLimiterDuration | A user will be blocked if his/her failed login attempt reaches AuthenticateRateLimiterMaxTries in AuthenticateRateLimiterDuration for about AuthenticateRateLimiterDuration. |
| loginHistoryRetentionPeriod | Retention login history, records beyond this amount will be deleted. |
| maximumClockSkew | Controls the maximum allowed clock skew when performing time-sensitive operations, such as validating the expiration time of a user token. The default value for maximum clock skew is `10 seconds`. |
| multipleLogin | Allow multiple users login from different location at the same time. The default value for multiple login is `true`. |
| jwtSecret | Secret to sign user token. Multi-cluster environments [need to use the same secret](../../multicluster-management/enable-multicluster/direct-connection/#prepare-a-member-cluster). |
| accessTokenMaxAge | AccessTokenMaxAge control the lifetime of access tokens. The default lifetime is 2 hours. Setting the `accessTokenMaxAge` to 0 means the token will not expire, it will be set to 0 when the cluster role is member. |
| accessTokenInactivityTimeout | Inactivity timeout for tokens. The value represents the maximum amount of time that can occur between consecutive uses of the token. Tokens become invalid if they are not used within this temporal window. The user will need to acquire a new token to regain access once a token times out. |

You can define additional authentication configuration in the `identityProviders `section.
### LDAP Authentication
Set LDAPIdentityProvider in the identityProviders section to validate username and password against an LDAPv3 server using simple bind authentication.

| Parameter | Description |
|-----------|-------------|
| name | The name of the identity provider is associated with the user label. |
| mappingMethod | Defines how new identities are mapped to users when they log in. |
| mappingMethod | The account mapping configuration. You can use different mapping methods, such as:<br/>- `auto`: The default value. The user account will be automatically created and mapped if the login is successful. <br/>- `lookup`: Using this method requires you to manually provision accounts. |

Encountered an unexpected session timeout error `Session timeout or this account is logged in elsewhere, please login again`.
## Inactivity session timeout
You can control when an inactive user session expires. The default session timeout is two hours of inactivity.
[Configure accessTokenMaxAge and accessTokenInactivityTimeout](../../access-control-and-account-management/configuring-authentication/#authentication-configuration).
## JWT signature verification failed
In [multi-cluster environment]((../../multicluster-management/enable-multicluster/direct-connection/#prepare-a-member-cluster)) `clusterRole` and `jwtSecret` needs to be set correctly.
## Node clock skew
Node clock skew will affect time-sensitive operations such as validating the expiration time of a user token. You can configure the server time synchronization with an NTP server. [MaximumClockSkew](../../access-control-and-account-management/configuring-authentication/#authentication-configuration) can also be set, the default value is 10 seconds.
