Hi all!

**LDAP for Plex**

The title pretty much says it all. I’ve written a small (very basic at the moment) LDAP server that uses Plex as the provider.

[GitHub link](https://github.com/hjone72/LDAP-for-Plex)

It only supports search and bind but that is all you need for authentication. I’m using this along side [Booksonic](http://booksonic.org) and it’s working great.

I haven’t got any other LDAP supported services so I haven’t been able to test it against anything else.

There isn’t any authentication at the moment so I strongly suggest not exposing the server through your firewall.

Let me know what you think 🙂

Cheers! It shouldn’t be too hard to get it working for Organizr too.

Currently you’re just using a bind right?
