Using sssd in a Playground Without TLS
sssd has established itself as the most common way to provision system accounts via LDAP or Active Directory on linux servers across all linux distributions. However, working with it can be tricky!

Had to give up with linux again.
Authentication is centralised by AD using sssd on the Linux side. [https://sssd.io/]

Good solution to manage Linux based devices? (Debian 11)
Do you have an AD environment or other LDAP directory? If so, sssd (this is available from most distro repos) can be used to validate credentials against the directory. If not, there are PAM modules for various cloud directories or RADIUS for other cloud auth providers. Uyuni is a good Linux management tool. Handles configuration/patch management and compliance. It isn't designed with user devices in mind, but I'm sure it would work.
- Debian Bullseye might already be out next month
- AD-Join not possible with Debian buster...

Keycloak SSO with Docker Compose and Nginx
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.

Ask HN: What apps have you created for your own use?
I wrote LLDAP (https://github.com/lldap/lldap) after struggling to install and configure openLdap on my homelab.

Anyone else using LLDAP and if so... (can it do TrueNAS & Linux User/Login authentication?)
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
- Lldap Release 0.5.0

LDAP resources/recommendations question
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.

Keycloak – Open-Source Identity and Access Management Interview
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...
- 🆕 Cosmos 0.6.0 - All in one secure Reverse-proxy, container manager and authentication provider now supports OpenID! Guides available in the documentation on how to setup Nextcloud, Minio and Gitea easily from the UI.
