authn-ldap-proxy

This repository contains a simple LDAP server that proxy Bind requests to keratin/authn-server and tierklinik-dobersberg/iam. It's main purpose is to proxy LDAP simple bind authentication requests to authn-server and thus allow easy integration of third-party applications.

When configured only for keratin/authn-server authentication requests are forwarded but group membership requests and filters will be ingored. For group management you'll also need to setup the IAM server from tierklinik-dobersberg/iam that provides user and access management (authz) while using Keratin for authentication.

Warning
authn-ldap-proxy proxies LDAP bind request to authn-server but does not do any session management. Using LDAP there is no way to tell a third-party application that a user account has been locked, deleted or that sessions have been invalidated! It's the responsibility of the third-party application to repeatingly ensure the user is still allowed to authenticate.

authn-ldap-proxy is currently under heavy development and not yet ready to be used! If you still want to give it a try checkout the example configuration in Configfile and follow these instructions:
