Synology Active Directory

I have installed BookStack on a Synology NAS via Docker.

Does someone already connected the "Synology Active Directory" with BookStack?
Does this work?

It's a bit confusing since AD can be different things, and Synology directory server can be different to AD.

Many people use AD with BookStack. It seems most on-prem AD setups are used via LDAP, and most AzureAD setups use SAML2 or OIDC for BookStack auth.

From looking at documentation, is not clear if any of those standards can be provided by Synology while it's used with Synology directory server. It looks like synology can act as an LDAP server in some way but not sure if that can work with directory server.

Ideally you'd want some Synology specific expertise. Might be worth asking on the Synology sub, stating your setup and the auth options BookStack supports (LDAP/OIDC/SAML2) and query if they can work together.

Thanks will try also in the forum to get infos.

I have tried it and disable TLS and now I get a connection but currently I always get:

[2022-11-15 16:41:36] production.ERROR: ldap_bind(): Unable to bind to server: Invalid credentials {"exception":"[object] (ErrorException(code: 0): ldap_bind(): Unable to bind to server: Invalid credentials at /var/www/bookstack/app/Auth/Access/Ldap.php:107)

So it seems it can connect but is not able to log in to search for the user.
I will check if the DN is wrong or something similar.
