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.

-- https://thelounge.chat/

:::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 are used in this guide:

  • authentik.company is the FQDN of the authentik LDAP outpost installation.
  • 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

:::note This documentation lists only the settings that you need to change from their default values. Be aware that any changes other than those explicitly mentioned in this guide could cause issues accessing your application. :::

authentik configuration

Follow official documentation to create an LDAP outpost. If you already have an LDAP outpost configured, you can use it without additional setup. No further configuration in authentik is needed.

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.
