  • I’ve looked at that, but not lately. Last I checked, it was kind of pseudo-LDAP and only really focused on user authentication. I can’t read through it now, but will check it out later. For OP’s purposes, though, yeah, that should do nicely as a user base for Authelia.

    My LDAP server also backs my DHCP, DNS, SMTP/IMAP, SIP, and a few other things beyond user auth, so I kind of need a full LDAP server. The good thing is once you get OpenLDAP setup (and get a good grasp of the cn=config schema), it’s pretty easy to manage with Apache Directory Studio. Getting to that point, though, lol, is quite a mountain to climb.


  • I use OpenLDAP for my source of truth (user base) and have Authelia configured to use that for users.

    Authelia supports acting as an OIDC provider as well as an auth source for apps I host behind Nginx.

    For apps that support LDAP, they’re plumbed directly in to that and apps using more modern auth schemes (or apps that don’t support either OIDC/LDAP) are protected by Authelia - they use the same userbase in LDAP.

    OpenLDAP isn’t easy, though, so you might want to look at something like FreeIPA or 389 Directory Server instead.














  • Not sure if “CVS receipt layout” is a common term or not, but I’ve used it over the last 10 years or so.

    It describes websites that have massive margins with the content displayed as a thin strip down the middle; everything on the side is just wasted space (or crammed with ads).

    Receipts from the retailer CVS are a known joke where the smallest, single-item purchase will generate a receipt that’s 6 foot long because of all the ads, coupons, and other junk tacked on.

    In the old days, it was a lazy way to make websites work on desktop and mobile. Now, it’s a lazy excuse for not doing responsive design and/or allocating massive amounts of space for ads. I hate it. lol.
