Is this a feature for the backend or frontend?

Backend

What would you like?

Support for OpenLDAP access is a basic requirement for me to decide whether to use this product. What's the current progress on this?

Why is this needed?

Hi! Thanks for the question. We don't have concrete plans to add native LDAP support to PLANKA at the moment. However, it's already possible to set it up using Keycloak, which can handle all LDAP communication properly.

setting up keycloack is a pain, requires additional TLS keys, is another point of failure, another dependency, and is - broadly speaking - absolutely overkill for this purpose (imo). looking at the patchset supplied to implement LDAP, it doesn't look like it was a huge change. i'll try rebasing it some time soon (although a lot of structure has changed in 3 years 😞). it would be great to have native LDAP support! 🙂
