# Authentricity

|
|
## A Lightweight Distributed Authentication System
|
||
|
|
Authentricity is a lightweight authenticaton system for distributed environments.
|
||
|
|
Users and groups are stored internally in the systemd JSON
|
||
|
|
[user](https://systemd.io/USER_RECORD/) and [group](https://systemd.io/GROUP_RECORD/)
|
||
|
|
record formats
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Theoretically the storage backends are pluggable, but presently only
|
||
|
|
[Hashicorp Consul](https://www.consul.io/) is supported.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
