What is The Lounge​

The Lounge is a modern, web-based IRC (Internet Relay Chat) client that allows users to stay connected to IRC servers even when offline.

note

This guide assumes you already deployed an LDAP Provider, if not check here. If you made any changes, e.g. using a different name for the user, make sure to apply them here as well.

Preparation​

The following placeholders will be used:

  • authentik.company is the FQDN of the authentik install.
  • dc=company,dc=com the Base DN of the LDAP outpost. If you followed the LDAP provider guide this is: dc=goauthentik,dc=io
  • ldap_bind_user the username of the desired LDAP Bind User. If you followed the LDAP provider guide this is: ldapservice

LDAP Configuration​

authentik Configuration​

Follow the instructions to create an LDAP outpost and configure access via the outpost. No additional authentik configuration needs to be configured.

The Lounge configuration​

In the config.js file find the ldap section and make the following changes:

  1. Set enable to true
  2. Set url to ldap://authentik.company
  3. Set primaryKey to cn
  4. In the searchDN section make the following changes:
    1. Set rootDN to cn=ldap_bind_user,ou=users,dc=company,dc=com
    2. Set rootPassword to the password you have given to the ldap_bind_user
    3. Set filter to (&(objectClass=user)
      1. Alternatively, if you want to restrict access by group, you can set it to: (&(objectClass=user)(memberOf=cn=group_name,ou=groups,dc=ldap,dc=company,dc=com))
    4. Set base to dc=ldap,dc=company,dc=com
  5. Finally, save the config.js file and restart The Lounge. You should be able to log in via LDAP now, as long as a user with the same name exists.
