what is everyone using as an LDAP server ? reddit / selfhosted ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ithakaa · 2023-11-20 09:05 I'm looking for an LDAP server and I'm aware of OpenLDAP. I'd like to inquire within the community about any alternatives that are currently in use. My primary criterion is a user-friendly GUI. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- EstablishmentKey539 · 2023-11-20 09:32 I'm using [LLDAP](https://github.com/lldap/lldap). Mainly as a backend to authelia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- fuken33 · 2023-11-20 09:42 LLDAP is the simplest and covers most basic needs. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- rmc13_ · 2023-11-20 12:02 I'm curious: what's the reason to have LDAP at home? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -quakeguy- · 2023-11-20 13:02 Regular Active Directory Domain Services works great. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -quakeguy- · 2023-11-20 13:03 Using 1-2 accounts across everything instead of dozens of individual local accounts for various VMs and services. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- White_-_Lightning · 2023-11-20 14:12 FreeIPA is the goat ---------------------------------------------------------------------- phein4242 · 2023-11-20 16:12 OpenLDAP with a bunch of custom schemas. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- phein4242 · 2023-11-20 16:14 Network-wide backend for authentication and authorization. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- adamshand · 2023-11-20 18:55 I used to professionally run OpenLDAP servers, don't do it unless you want to learn. In a homelab, or even small company, context, use LLDAP or GLAuth. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GODavon · 2023-11-20 19:08 I use authentik. It can do ldap, saml, radius and more ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ithakaa · 2023-11-20 19:29 Is there a non docker install option? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ithakaa · 2023-11-20 19:34 It’s not available for Ubuntu 22.04 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Particular-Way7271 · 2023-11-20 20:01 Is OpenLdap still used in production environments nowadays? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- adamshand · 2023-11-20 20:11 Probably? But I don't know, I was using OpenLDAP in the mid-2000s when it was the only real open source option. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- No_Dragonfruit_5882 · 2023-11-20 20:21 At home lldap at work the default ADDS ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ithakaa · 2023-11-20 20:42 I’m looking for a good install guide ---------------------------------------------------------------------- No_Dragonfruit_5882 · 2023-11-20 20:46 https://github.com/lldap/lldap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- GODavon · 2023-11-20 20:53 Nope only Docker & Kubernetes. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- maevian · 2023-11-20 23:59 Not really feasible to run in a home setting ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Psychological_Win_89 · 2023-11-21 01:19 A company Elon bought ran openldap in prod. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5SpeedFun · 2023-11-21 02:30 I’m using samba as a DC. So far so good. Been about a month. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- qfla · 2023-11-21 05:45 389-ds with cockpit plugin for administration ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -quakeguy- · 2023-11-21 06:51 Says who? Havent had any problems over 4+ years. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- mss-cyclist · 2023-11-21 07:05 OpenLDAP and Eclipse with Apache Directory Studio as plugin for GUI purposes ---------------------------------------------------------------------- maevian · 2023-11-21 07:17 Unless you’re pirating the license cost alone would scare of most home users. I use Active Directory at work and it’s a great product, but at home most of my services are Linux based so really not worth it to run AD only for LDAP. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -quakeguy- · 2023-11-21 07:45 As much as Microsoft would love it to be illegal, in most of the world, buying a key resold on eBay is entirely legal. There are also various avenues to get it very cheaply or for free even with accordance with Microsoft’s desires, such as MSDN. If LDAP is truly all you want, I might agree ADDS is overkill, but most people who want LDAP also want DNS and that quickly stars tipping the scale towards ”not overkill”. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- TheBrones · 2023-11-21 08:27 Lldap looks great compared to Active Directory! What are you guys using to authenticate to radius clients? I currently also use NPS from Microsoft but I would like to use an simple Linux solution. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- silence036 · 2023-11-21 12:41 Fully switched 2 years ago from ADDS, automated the ldaps certs with letsencrypt dns01 challenge and haven't touched it since, it just works. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Particular-Way7271 · 2023-11-21 18:43 I always wondered if cloud directories such as azure ad still do use ldap directories in the background. Such as ad lds or openldap ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Psychological_Win_89 · 2023-11-21 19:46 They're more likely databases with a connector that takes LDAP queries and translates it into a database query and responds ldap
