Hey community, is it possible to use LDAP for authentication, has somebody already done that? We use an OpenLDAP system for authentication at our company and I have a hard time figuring out how or even if that could be integrated into Flyte's authentication system based on OpenID Connect. Would a server like https://canaille.readthedocs.io/en/latest/ be the way to go? Thanks

So Flyte ships with oauth2 framework and supports auth using either a full oauth2 system like Okta etc or authn frontend like oidc
This looks cool, I think someone used ldap? Cc @high-park-82026

We are using Azure AD, but it should work with any of the IdP. Which issues are you facing @purple-match-42006?

I am pretty new to that authentication topic and was trying to understand if the auth integration in Flyte can be used with an OpenLDAP server. Now it seems like there needs to be some Identity Provider in between.
Then, I guess it will be easier to directly use another system like gitlab as OAuth2 Identity Provider.
