  1. Hello all, I've been working on my home lab network overhaul recently, and adding an unRAID NAS was part of that. This week, I added a FreeIPA instance to centralize logins for all Unix and compatible network devices. Installing on most Linux devices is easy, and even comes with distro-specific installers for both Debian/Ubuntu-style and RHEL-style distros. Unfortunately, there is nothing for Slackware. When I was planning this, I had just assumed that unRAID had LDAP support out of the box (since it had Active Directory), or at least through a plugin. So far, I have been unable to locate any good resources on this. Google has been less than helpful, forwarding me to posts about using unRAID as an AD server. I have, however, found a few references to wanting LDAP support in posts here, and one post from 2011 that seems to indicate that LDAP support exists. I think I can use a hacky solution where I pretend unRAID is a Windows client and add it as an authentication-only AD client in FreeIPA. Their documentation is a bit shaky on the subject since it's not a completely recommended configuration. My testing of this is on hold until I can finish a backup KVM instance to house my IPA server while unRAID attempts to join my IPA domain (turns out unRAID stops the whole array when you press "join"- poor planning on my part XD) My question is this: If LDAP support exists is it something that can be added to the GUI? If it doesn't exist, is it something unRAID will eventually support?
