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:

arm32v7-latest
Usage
Here are some example snippets to help you get started creating a container from this image.
docker
docker create \

Parameters
Docker images are configured using parameters passed at runtime (such as those above). These parameters are separated by a colon and indicate <external>:<internal> respectively. For example, -p 8080:80 would expose port 80 from inside the container to be accessible from the host's IP on port 8080 outside the container.

Application Setup
This container itself does not have any settings and it relies on the pertinent information passed through in http headers of incoming requests. Make sure that your webserver is set up with the right config.
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
