Syncing users from LDAP

LDAP integration is performed using a small service that queries LDAP and invites users to your Vaultwarden instance. This service is uncreatively named vaultwarden_ldap.

Because of Vaultwardens zero-trust architecture this service does not provide synchronization of passwords but only invitations for new LDAP members.

It is not yet distributed as a binary, but there is an available Docker image vividboarder/vaultwarden_ldap.

Before deploying, you must enable your vaultwarden admin page. This enables the API that the LDAP sync service will use to invite users. The ADMIN_TOKEN that you set will be used when configuring the LDAP sync service. You must also be sure to not disable the invitation capability. To verify this, double check that the environment variable INVITATIONS_ALLOWED is not set to false.

It is also recommended to enable email sending from your Vaultwarden instance so that your users will be notified they can make an account. If you do not, they will still be able to register if they use their LDAP email address, but you will have to inform them on your own.

With these steps done, you can configure and deploy the LDAP sync service. The most up-to-date instructions are to be found on the service Readme itself, but it will involve creating the config.toml file with the connection info for your Vaultwarden instance, your LDAP instance, as well as the LDAP query you'd like to use to find users.
