Authorization and authentication. Like it or not Microsoft Active Ditectory or Azure AD (basically the cloud version) works with everything and it’s kinda the only single-signon/shared login solution for enterprises. You can build something yourself with LDAP, Kerberos and maybe Keycloak, but why bother when you more or less need AD for Windows and Exchange anyway.
- Eduard 4y agoSelf-hosted Gitlab instances also can act as authentication services. Connecting git with an internal AD/LDAP allows for not requiring Azure AD.
- jmathai 4y agoThis isn’t a solution for enterprises, however.
- eastbound 4y agoFor juniors: Enterprises and even small startups need to comply with their industry’s security certification (PCI, ISO, whatever) which requires traceability of logins (and central revocation when employees quit and provably complex passwords and inability to retry 100 times, etc.)
- pdimitar 4y agoI'd love to read more about it. Got any links?
- mutt2016 4y agoIf it's just SSO, I have many good things to say about keycloak.

- aaronharnly 4y agoWe use Okta, currently with on-prem AD, but are whittling away at the use cases for the latter and hope to be AD-free once we solve for RADIUS (suggestions welcome :)
