  • matrix-synapse-ldap3

    An LDAP3 auth provider for Synapse

  • Also, do I have to create an account or does Synapse import those from LDAP? I've seen both approaches in other web services but I'm not having much luck finding documentation on logging in with LDAP. I've been using https://github.com/matrix-org/matrix-synapse-ldap3 since that's the official repo but there's also a 3rd party one https://github.com/ma1uta/ma1sd/blob/master/docs/getting-started.md That I haven't tried yet, not sure if it'll be easier to get working?

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

  • Keycloak

    Open Source Identity and Access Management For Modern Applications and Services

  • What I did was configure Matrix as using openid-connect. The openid server I used was the (wonderful!) KeyCloak (https://www.keycloak.org/) system, and KeyCloak is what I pointed at LDAP (in my case 389ds - this is in Ubuntu's repo, as of 20.04, but you can get more documentation or manually download here depending on your system: https://directory.fedoraproject.org/)
