LDAP Support for Authentication

[joe-eklund]

Describe the enhancement you'd like
It would be awesome if we could back LibrePhotos with an LDAP server for user authentication.

Describe why this will benefit the LibrePhotos
This would allow for LibrePhotos to reuse users from LDAP instead of having it's own internal users auth. I'd love SSO and OIDC support as well, but LDAP is a great place to start I think.

bumping this, would love SSO/OIDC support, or somehow allow general external authentication proxy support to pass a username through to librephotos. That would be the most flexible I think.

[esackbauer]

Same here, LDAP would be great, or any other SSO mechanism to be used with Authelia, Authentik etc.

[Scot-Survivor]

Bumping this again, would love to see it.

For those hosting and manging a lot of resources keeping track of them all, and the users can be hard. LDAP helps with this situation.

Agreed. Using proxy auth for many services, would be great to have LP also get it's login stuff from external auth source. SSO / Authelia / Authentik / OAuth / Proxy... anything might do.
