lldap VS zitadel

Good to hear, I think it'll make many users happy. For me, I've migrated back to Authelia. I moved to authentik because at the time Authelia had no user management. After all of authentik's sharp edges, I've found lldap[0], and was able to implement a pilot in a few hours. I haven't looked back, since everything was converted.

I wrote LLDAP (https://github.com/lldap/lldap) after struggling to install and configure openLdap on my homelab.

I've recently installed and configured LLDAP (Lightweight LDAP) - More details here if you've never heard of it before: GitHub - lldap/lldap: Light LDAP implementation

I've an LLDAP instance running to make managing users easier.

I'm trying to integrate LDAP into my small homelab but I'm extreme noobie in it. So far I've tried: 1. OpenLDAP - not so resource heavy but I found it difficult go get working correctly with NextCloud, Keycloak and Jellyfin. Maybe someone could recommend an easy to follow guide? 2. LLDAP - honestly it's almost prefect. Nice clean UI, great guides how to setup with everything I need, but it's a read-only LDAP, so I cannot create or manage users with Keycloak or NC, that's about the only downside and probably bugs me more than it should. 3. 389ds - has everything I need (and probably some more), super easy to setup with this guide but the elephant in the room is that it uses 700MiB of RAM (whereas LLDAP uses only 7-8MiB). That's a big difference which really makes me question whether I want to use this particular solution.

Note that if you want to use KeyCloak for the OpenID but want to still have a LDAP source of truth, you can use LLDAP + KeyCloak together, with LLDAP as the source of truth and KeyCloak giving you the fancy features: https://github.com/lldap/lldap/blob/main/example_configs/key...

To be fair, their respective documentations (here and here) are pretty comprehensive.

ZITADEL Cloud — A turnkey user and access management that works for you and supports multi-tenant (B2B) use cases. Free for up to 25,000 authenticated requests, with all security features (no paywall for OTP, Passwordless, Policies, and so on).

One of the challenges we see is providing self-service for team management. That includes letting an admin assign roles to their users, manage user lifecycle (eg through sso), and setting up security policies. For sure you can build the basics, but it becomes complex later on if you manage a lot of tenants or or more enterprise customers. For Auth only there are many solutions out there that work great. There's only a few solutions with multi-tenancy at the core, though, like https://github.com/zitadel/zitadel
