Self-hosted SSO (midwest.social)

What are you folks using for self-hosted single sign-on?

I have my little LDAP server (lldap is fan-fucking-tastic -- far easier to work with than OpenLDAP, which gave me nothing but heartburn). Some applications can be configured to work with it directly; several don't have LDAP account support. And, ultimately, it'd be nice to have SSO - having the same password everywhere if great, but having to sign in only once (per day or week, or whatever) would be even nicer.

There are several self-hosted Auth* projects; which is the simplest and easiest? I'd really just like a basic start-it-up, point it at my LDAP server, and go. Fine grained ACLs and RBAC support is nice and all, but simplicity is trump in my case. Configuring these systems is, IME, a complex process, with no small numbers of dials to turn.

A half dozen users, and probably only two groups: admin, and everyone else. I don't need fancy. OSS, of course. Is there any of these projects that fit that bill? It would seem to be a common use case for self-hosters, who don't need all the bells and whistles of enterprise-grade solutions.

Just copied and pasted my comment from another recent post about Authelia.

After recently trying Authelia I gave up and moved to Authentik. Very much appreciate the all in one functionality of it. The company even paid a YouTuber to make a bunch of useful step by step tutorials and they have been invaluable. They also have a number of SSO integration instructions for various software. I highly recommend giving it a try if you're in the market for an easy enough self hosted SSO and proxy password system.

Thanks! Two for Authentik.

I think it really shines because it supports everything. LDAP, SAML, OAUTH2, OpenID, everything. There are options for TOTP, Duo, Webauth, etc... and you can enforce MFA if you like. The only apps I have been unable to integrate are ones that offer no SSO integration at all.

paid a YouTuber

a link to his/her channel would be great.

Thanks a lot!

No problem. Thanks for the reminder that just because he's the first thing I see when I search Authentik on YouTube doesn't mean that's what you get.
