💬 Question

Thanks for your help for #1481. I'm now closer to successfully configure LDAP auth.

The last obstacle is about the DN format. I'm using authentik and being able to bind my ldap account:

ldapsearch -x   -H ldap://authentik.domain   -D 'cn=someuser,DC=ldap,DC=goauthentik,DC=io'   -w '******'   -b 'DC=ldap,DC=goauthentik,DC=io'   '(objectClass=user)

However, I found cypht's LDAP auth bind the user DN with uid=someuser,DC=ldap,DC=goauthentik,DC=io. This will cause my authentik server failed to auth. I try to find config to make uid= become cn= but there seems no such an option. How could I solve this issue?

Hello @kevinend51,

Thank you for your question.

About

I try to find config to make uid= become cn= but there seems no such an option.

The option exists,

LDAP_UID_ATTR="uid"

LDAP_AUTH_UID_ATTR="uid"

you can change uid to cn. With docker you need to remove the quotes.
