Hi,

I would like to know if this is doable with Apache DS or a ldap library.

I would like to build an application that can offer basic set of functionality to perform LDAP authentication (and maybe password reset) and delegate this to an existing auth service (Keycloak, a user and password database, a simple file, Google Auth, whatever ).

The use case is that some applications work with LDAP auth for unified authentication and don't provide Oauth2 / OpenID connect support.

I would like to deploy keycloak or another IDM server to manage users and offer those applications an ldaps endpoint for which they authenticate.



To my knowledge I would need some sort of **SIMPLE** embedded ldap server that I can map the auth structure to my existing data stored in a DB or a rest service.

User will configure legacy app to sue my ldap Auth server.
The auth server will receive auth requests and read data from my real auth service (Keycloak, plain user + pass file, etc ).


This is kind of the reverse of what people are doing (putting OpenID Connect on top of LDAP servers).

The use case is pretty small and I think I could get away with a simple ldap protocol parsing library.

I would like to avoid any unnecessary complexity: ldap schemas, etc.


Would this be possible?
What should I try ?


Thanks,
