# Technical Requirements

{% hint style="info" %}
At this time accessing the Tradecraft app requires having a Canton Network Validator Node on which the software can be installed. If you do not have a node and represent an organization looking to add value to the Canton Network you may get started here: <https://sync.global/validators/>
{% endhint %}

#### Containerization

Tradecraft requires access to your Validator’s Ledger API.  You will need to ensure that your firewall allows Tradecraft access to that API, which usually means running the app in the same cluster with your other Canton app backends. Our container support is as follows:

|                | Available Support                                                                    | Documentation                                                                                |

#### Authentication

Generally speaking, any OAuth IDP could be used with Tradecraft, however our team may not be able to fully support you with less popular options if troubleshooting is necessary. Keycloak and auth0 have both been used by our current install base:

|              | Available Support                                                                          | Documentation                                                                          |
