### Basic Authentication
Authelia allows you to customize the authentication method to use for each sub-domain.
The supported methods are either "basic_auth" and "two_factor".
Please see [config.template.yml] to see an example of configuration.
### Session management with Redis
When your users authenticate against Authelia, sessions are stored in a Redis key/value store. You can specify your own Redis instance in [config.template.yml].
