Yes! The platform provides an internal LDAP and OIDC connector so that external applications can authenticate against it.
This means you can run apps that don’t have their own user management and instead rely on the platform’s accounts. Your users only need one set of credentials to access all apps connected to the platform.
✅ Advantages:
-
Single sign-on (SSO) across multiple apps
-
No need to create or manage accounts separately in each app
-
Consistent user and group permissions everywhere
⚠️ Things to note:
-
The app must support LDAP or OIDC to integrate with the platform
-
If the platform is down, external apps relying on it cannot authenticate users
