[Suggestion] Adding LDAP Support

[SnowJuli]

Maybe add LDAP Support in addition to the passwd file. You could use something like ldap3 and configure it with a configuration file.

Thanks for the suggestion! This sounds like good functionality... I'll add it to my roadmap :)

+1 for this! I already store users in LDAP since many applications support it and it would be really nice to be able to use it here aswell.

As an additional suggestion, it would also be nice to have support for OIDC (OpenID Connect), there are rust libraries for it that should be pretty plug-and-play and allow to signin with an extreanal OpenID provider like keycloak, github, gitea etc.

The strength of nforwardauth is its simplicity. @pinpox consider using tools like Keycloak with an accompanying OICD forwarder. I'd much rather like to see a tiny interface for editing users in the passwd file or some other tiny user management.
