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 definitely use “upvote = mark as read” so I’m with you on that. 😆
