# {{ page.title }}
mxisd is a federated Matrix Identity Server for self-hosted Matrix servers.

It provides the following features for your Matrix Homeserver:
- Link to an already existing Identity store - No more duplication of data that would already be in your AD/LDAP, forums, CRM, etc.
- Link to the central Matrix Identity servers (vector.im & matrix.org) to provide native experience
- Search people by name (or anything else!), looking in your Identity store and your homeserver (integration with Directory API)
- Invite people by e-mail, phone number, etc. instead of Matrix IDs
- Show who's using Matrix and their ID on your smartphone when looking to invite people to a Direct chat or Group chat
- Allow people to link identifiers (e-mail, phone number) to their Matrix account to be locally or globally searchable
- Provide an all-in-one authentication backend for synapse using the [REST auth module](https://github.com/kamax-io/matrix-synapse-rest-auth)

mxisd is is an implementation of the [Identity Service API](http://matrix.org/docs/spec/identity_service/unstable.html) which aims to provide an alternative to [sydent](https://github.com/matrix-org/sydent) with much added values and features.
