X2Go uses SSH underneath, so whatever you can use with PAM (Pluggable
Authentication Modules -
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pluggable_authentication_module>)
will/should work with X2Go as well. We even support a handful of 2FA
authentication methods.

I know that there are PAM plugins for LDAP and AD, so getting this to
work in your environment will most likely depend on the availability of
these plugins for your specific Linux distribution, and require a more
or less thorough study of the PAM syntax.

Kind Regards,
