Hi. We have two ways to authenticate in our nexus 3.28 repo. One is with local nexus users, the other one is with a SSO system. It is possible to use Windows AD login to bring automatic access to our Nexus repository? Can we avoid the second login? Thanks in advance. ---

If you are asking if you can tie in permissions from windows AD yes. You can tie the system to AD through LDAP. Documentation here: [LDAP Integration](https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager2/ldap-integration) If you mean will it auto log you into the UI or one of the repos without giving it your credentials. No not to the best of my knowledge. ---

You might be able to use [reverse user tokens](https://help.sonatype.com/repomanager3/system-configuration/user-authentication/authentication-via-remote-user-token) if you can provide a reverse proxy that can set a header for the user.
