GLAuth is an open-source, lightweight LDAP server designed to provide simple and efficient LDAP authentication for various applications and services. It is written in Go, which makes it highly portable and easy to deploy across different platforms without requiring complex dependencies. GLAuth supports essential LDAP features for user and group management and can be configured using YAML files or directories, making it a flexible choice for developers and administrators looking to implement LDAP authentication quickly.
Ideal for self-hosting environments, GLAuth aims to be a drop-in replacement or complement for more complex LDAP servers, offering straightforward configuration and integration. Its design focuses on ease of use, speed, and minimal resource consumption, making it suitable for small to medium-scale deployments or development setups where LDAP functionality is needed but full-featured directory services may be overkill.
