What's wrong with openldap? I mean, apart from being a pita, i thought it was the widely used central auth directory (behind all sorts of sso frontends).

- trey-jones 3y agoI maintain a small openldap directory for our company and I think it's great. The main problems revolve around being somewhat old-fashioned and not intuitive for modern tech workers. I'm the only one in my org that really knows anything about it. Management software for openldap definitely has room for improvement, and documentation could be improved as well. It works great though! Super fast and flexible.
- lapinot 3y agoYes indeed! When i said it's a pita, i mostly meant that LDAP is a pita (needlessly complex spec with complicated query language and the whole schema extension zoo). openldap is pretty fine as far as it can be. Personally i'm using lldap, which is a neat no-footgun ldap daemon for small/personal deployments.
