OpenLDAP or Alternative

[murgero]

I'd like to propose OpenLDAP (Or LDAP base Alternative) to allow apps to use an LDAP database without require access to Cloudron's LDAP server. This can be used in cases of of security, or in the case of web hosting, allowing apps to not cross talk on LDAP.

In light of the [limits on the Cloudron LDAP instance](link url)

At my place of work we developed a small golang ldap server some months ago. I have spent some time this weekend packaging this project up for cloudron and also have included an openid connect provider.

The ldap server is really simple, it basically takes an existing ldif as input and serves this out to any authenticated user. It does not even allow modifying items through e.g. ldapmodify, but requires the ldif on disk to be changed.

LDAP and OpenID Connect Provider are part of the https://libregraph.github.io/ project.

If someone is interested in trying out the app please send me a direct message.

@fbartels what are testing requirements ? lots of users ? (don't have many)

@timconsidine I do not have any hard requirements, but it would certainly be useful when the persons knows how to work the cli and install custom apps on Cloudron. The less users, probably the better.
