Describe the feature you'd like

Hello
Is it possible to use Bookstack under the big portal (using Nginx) which contains not only BS, but JupyterHub, OMD, Gitlab and others services.
Big portal controlled by ldap (multi-domain).
Can BookStack use authent and authrshn from the "big portal" ?

Describe the benefits this would bring to existing BookStack users

usage in multi-servvice portals

Can the goal of this request already be achieved via other means?

probably, using hard scripting

Have you searched for an existing open/closed issue?

  • I have searched for existing issues and none cover my fundamental request

How long have you been using BookStack?

1 to 5 years

Additional context

Hi @igoresz,

I'm not exactly sure what "Big Portal" is.

It should be possible to share the same nginx instance with other applications.

BookStack however does not have any specific support for proxy-layer authentication systems, it only supports direct communication with the standards mentioned in our docs (LDAP/SAML/OIDC).
Depending on your scenario, you may be able to use proxy-level authentication/authorization where not needed to provide deeper integration with Bookstack (BookStack user auth). It may also be possible to achieve things via customizations (eg. logical theme system) but that kind of thing is not officially supported.
