nginx-ldap-auth-service 2.0.0

A FastAPI app that authenticates users via LDAP and sets a cookie for nginx

nginx-ldap-auth-service

nginx-ldap-auth-service provides a method of authenticating users who request protected resources from servers proxied by nginx against an LDAP or Active Directory server. It provides a daemon (nginx-ldap-auth) that communicates with an LDAP or Active Directory server to authenticate users with their username and password, as well as a login form for actually allowing users to authenticate.

The nginx-ldap-auth server utilizes the ngx_http_auth_request_module to do its work. To see if your version of nginx has that installed, do:

$ nginx -V
nginx version: nginx/1.23.4
root@cb1533767dca:/# nginx -V

Look through the configure arguments for --with-http_auth_request_module. If you see that, you're all set to begin using nginx-ldap-auth-service
