computergeek125 Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 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? Quote Link to comment
vbap Posted May 29, 2019 Share Posted May 29, 2019 I would like to see this too. I use JumpCloud as LDAP server (it does much more, including syncing users with google suite or office365 accounts and enabling SSO to many web apps). JumpCloud requires an agent installed on machines in order to synchronise local users with the JumpCLoud directory. The JumpCLoud agent install for Linux fails due to this issue: https://blog.ypertex.com/articles/jumpcloud-on-unsupported-linux/ I could, as a workaround, do my file sharing from a windows VM (or supported linux VM) but then I feel I am defeating the purpose of managing shares in Unraid. For now I manually replicate users in Unraid (handful of users and get them to enter their password when I create the user!). Quote Link to comment
catapultam_habeo Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Can we please get LDAP authentication support? AD integration is super flaky, and there seem to be pretty mature linux solutions for using LDAP to authenticate (for samba, at least)... 2 Quote Link to comment
jimmyn Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 +1 for LDAP support please! Quote Link to comment
EdEpiphBKNY Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 OH YES!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
EdEpiphBKNY Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Is there any movement with this. I, as you, are a Jumpcloud admin and I am using UnRAID as our file server and would LOVE for a centralized user login experience. Quote Link to comment
MrNeo Posted January 18 Share Posted January 18 Would love proper LDAP support, not Active Directory, I tried setting that up but from my understanding Unraid connects to AD as a Computer not pure LDAP. Quote Link to comment
