Overview

GLAuth is an open source, lightweight LDAP authentication server. It serves an LDAP directory defined by a single configuration file, giving downstream services such as dashboards, git forges, wikis, media servers and monitoring tools one shared set of user accounts to authenticate against. It is an opinionated, simpler alternative to running a full OpenLDAP or Active Directory deployment for small environments, and runs as a single self contained binary on one node.

Why the cloudimg image

The cloudimg image is hardened and fully patched with GLAuth preconfigured to serve LDAP and LDAPS out of the box. A unique admin bind password and a fresh TLS certificate are generated on first boot, so no default login ships and no two instances share a credential. Every instance is backed by a paired deploy guide and 24/7 cloudimg support.

Common uses

  • Shared LDAP login for self hosted apps
  • A lightweight directory for authentication
  • LDAP and LDAPS for downstream services
