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.
Pocket id is my go to. I used to use Authentik, but it was overkill for us. Pocket ID is pretty simple to use and has a very nice interface to add your users and clients. Uncluttered and straight and to the point. Pocket ID doesn’t use UN/PW Combos. Instead, you use Passkeys as in webAuthn devices to log in, which IMHO is one of the better security paths.

If Pocket ID and Passkeys are like most modern “solutions”, they ignore everything that isn’t web, or human. Have you hooked any services together using it? Like having Home Assistant authenticate against mpd?
Passkeys work on whatever platforms your passkey is compatible with. I store mine in my BitWarden vault which works on web/PC/mobile just fine.
Pocket ID is an OpenID Connect provider (basically OAuth), so it depends on whichever apps you’re using having support for that.
Home Assistant does not natively support OIDC, but there is a community project in active development which aims to add support.
It just doesnt work in Firefox (mobile android)
