I am trying to figure out how I can retain personal SSH keys (probably the most important part, or at least important to have an alternative connection method) while also having modern tools like SSO or at least SAML, some way to federate to different ADs.
I know there are a few things out there like Authentik and Authelia, but not 100% sure Authentik covers those needs above. Does anyone have experience with these or other modern LDAP alternatives that work well with Linux?
The only alternative I know of that goes close to what FreeIPA does (minus the cert part) is kanidm. It does:
I just noticed they have a beta for multimaster replication, which is nice.
I use it at home. Note, though, that it does not do any hand-holding, and all configuration is done through CLI. Also note, there are docs for the stable or dev branch and there sometimes are big differences between the two.
You also could add Samba Active Directory to the list. It isn’t necessarily better but it is good for mixed environments
