LDAP authentication is common in enterprise and self-hosted environments, so BookStack has built-in support for authenticating users via LDAP. In this video I'll guide you through setting up LDAP authentication, with group & role sync, while warning you of the potential pitfalls and challenges you may come across.

Thanks for JumpCloud for providing a free & easy-to-use platform that I could use as a demo.
