LDAP support (like Jellyfin)

[QuentinCaldeira]

Hi !
I would like to first thanks gotson for the hard work he puts on komga. Because Komga supports OIDC, I think it could be a great idea to have LDAP too. I will illustrate with my example :

I manage a server with multiple accounts. All accounts exists in Authentik with a password for LDAP and a 2FA device for OIDC. For sensible apps, I want admins to log only via OIDC. If they log via LDAP, only Users privileges will be granted.

I think LDAP is the go-to solution because it will make smartphone and third app connections easier. As an example, I use Symfonium as a frontend for Jellyfin. Symfonium can't log in via OIDC, and there is no 'real' password on Jellyfin side to login. Here LDAP come because when Symfonium sends crendentials, Jellyfin is able to deal with them. Because the account recognition is based on nickname or email, accounts are linked together.

I can understand that Komga doesn't need LDAP at all for a web browser utilization. But for Android readers / app, it would be a must-have. I've seen that a previous request was made but seems to be closed.

Sorry for my bad English, and thanks for reading me :)

Target for 3rd party clients would be to use API keys. LDAP is similar to OAuth2, which Komga already supports.

Is API key user based ? Or only application based

for now it's used for Kobo Sync only. It's user based.
