Your identity directory, simple and hosted in France
The central directory of your infrastructure powered by LLDAP, installed and maintained by DINAO. Your user accounts and groups stay on our French servers — without the overhead of OpenLDAP.
What is LLDAP?
LLDAP (Light LDAP) is a lightweight authentication server offering a simplified and deliberately "opinionated" LDAP interface. It provides a directory of users and groups manageable via a user-friendly web interface, as a lightweight alternative to traditional OpenLDAP.
Administration requires no esoteric configuration files: create users and groups, set custom attributes, and enable self-service for users (profile editing, email-based password reset). For administrators, an GraphQL API and a Terraform provider enable scripting and infrastructure-as-code management.
Written in Rust, LLDAP has a minimal memory footprint and supports multiple databases (SQLite by default, PostgreSQL, MySQL/MariaDB). It interfaces via LDAP with over 100 documented services (Nextcloud, GitLab, Jellyfin…) and sits ideally behind an SSO component (Authelia, Authentik, Keycloak) to provide OIDC/SAML to modern applications.

Technical details
You might be wondering…
Does LLDAP replace Active Directory or OpenLDAP?
For common authentication needs, yes: LLDAP provides a user and group directory that is easy to manage, without the complexity of OpenLDAP or AD. For very advanced directory functions, AD remains more comprehensive.
Does LLDAP handle OIDC or SSO SAML directly?
No, and this is intentional. LLDAP provides the directory via the LDAP protocol. For modern SSO (OIDC/SAML), it is placed behind a dedicated component like Authelia, Authentik, or Keycloak, which DINAO can also host.
What services can I connect to it?
Any LDAP-compatible service: Nextcloud, GitLab, Jellyfin, Grafana, Vaultwarden, and over 100 documented applications. Your users log in everywhere with a single account.
Where are the data hosted?
On DINAO's infrastructure in France, in one of the available data centers. Your accounts, groups, and passwords never leave the country.
Can I automate account management?
Yes. LLDAP exposes a GraphQL API and a Terraform provider to create, modify, and delete users and groups using infrastructure-as-code.
