January 10, 20179 yr I have all my users and permissions set up the way I want in unraid. I recently set up nextcloud and I was wondering if there was a way to authenticate my nextcloud users again the unraid ones so I didnt need multiple sets up users. something like ldap, etc. I'd like unraid to be my definitive user source and any other software I require users for to athenticate against that. Possible? Thanks in advance, J
January 10, 20179 yr Community Expert The only possibility that I can think of would be Active Directory which is an advanced SMB network management function. It would require a lot of effort on your part to learn the in-and-outs (and research to find if it can do what you require) as you would have to virtually become an advance IT expert. I can't recall ever seeing a question on Active Directory so either (1) no one is using it or (2) if they are they already are trained in its use.

I can't recall ever seeing a question on Active Directory so either (1) no one is using it or (2) if they are they already are trained in its use. Unraid and AD is not well supported. It mostly works, but there aren't a whole lot of people using unraid that way. Support from version to version of unraid has been hit and miss. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?board=16.0
January 11, 20179 yr Oh, and to the point of the OP, unraid is only able to join active directory not host it, which means all user definitions in unraid are tossed out and only the AD domain users are in force. Pretty much the exact opposite of the original request.
January 11, 20179 yr Author Is there a recommended way people are centralizing user management? I'd love to get away from having to set up users all over the place. Single sign on would be ideal
January 11, 20179 yr Is there a recommended way people are centralizing user management? I'd love to get away from having to set up users all over the place. Single sign on would be ideal I reverse proxy my apps and just use the reverse proxy .htpasswd to centralise that part, but Nextcloud I haven't integrated. (Not looked into if it's possible or not) But afaik there is no single sign in service for everything. After all the apps are all discordant and often sort of sandboxed in docker containers. I would imagine some form of single sign in would require implementation in all these places, which seems unlikely at this point in time.
