## What it is
lldap is a lightweight LDAP authentication server written in Rust, providing an opinionated, simplified LDAP interface for user management. It ships with a friendly web UI for administration and self-service password resets, integrating with services like Nextcloud, KeyCloak, and Authelia.

## Use cases
- self-hosted ldap authentication server
- manage users for nextcloud via ldap
- lightweight alternative to openldap
- centralized authentication for self-hosted apps
- let users reset their own passwords
- integrate authelia or keycloak with ldap
- simple ldap server for homelab

## When to choose
- you need LDAP auth for self-hosted apps without the complexity of slapd
- you want a web UI for user and group management
- you want low resource usage and simple defaults
- users need self-service password reset by email

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured LDAP server with schemas and replication
- you need OAuth/OpenID Connect natively without pairing with another IdP
- you require advanced LDAP features like ACLs or custom attributes
