linuxserver/ldap-auth
Ldap-auth software is for authenticating users who request protected resources from servers proxied by nginx. It includes a daemon (ldap-auth) that communicates with an authentication server, and a webserver daemon that generates an authentication cookie based on the user’s credentials. The daemons are written in Python for use with a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) authentication server (OpenLDAP or Microsoft Windows Active Directory 2003 and 2012).
Supported Architectures
Our images support multiple architectures such as x86-64
, arm64
and armhf
. We utilise the docker manifest for multi-platform awareness. More information is available from docker here and our announcement here.
Simply pulling linuxserver/ldap-auth
should retrieve the correct image for your arch, but you can also pull specific arch images via tags.
The architectures supported by this image are:
Architecture | Tag |
---|---|
x86-64 | amd64-latest |
arm64 | arm64v8-latest |
armhf | arm32v6-latest |

- Here's a sample config: nginx-ldap-auth.conf.
Support Info
- Shell access whilst the container is running:
docker exec -it ldap-auth /bin/bash
- To monitor the logs of the container in realtime:
docker logs -f ldap-auth
- Container version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' ldap-auth
- Image version number
docker inspect -f '{{ index .Config.Labels "build_version" }}' linuxserver/ldap-auth
