Fortytwo offers FEIDE provisioning in two ways:

| | |
|-|-|
| **As a service** | Fortytwo delivers FEIDE LDAP servers as a service, which Fortytwo Universe populates |
| **Self hosted**  | Customers brings their own LDAP server, which Fortytwo Universe populates |

## Passwords

:::tip[Password synchronization]
Fortytwo Universe _can_ provide password synchronization features, but we do not recommend this. Passwords are going away, and there is no need to implement systems that still require passwords. 
:::

Our recommended approach is to utilize [Feide's Entra ID federation feature](https://docs.feide.no/home_organizations/feide_login_with_entra_id.html), which enables single sign-on from Entra ID. This completely eliminates the need to do password synchronization.
