# SSO Manager
A self-hosted **OpenID Connect provider** with a bundled **OpenLDAP directory**
and a web management UI — for home labs and small businesses that want their
own identity provider instead of a hosted one.
One place to manage your users and groups, one login (OIDC) your modern apps
can use, and one LDAP directory your older or odder apps can bind to directly.
Everything runs on your own hardware; no phone-home, no hosted control plane,
no per-user pricing.
Part of the theta42 self-hosted identity stack, alongside
[Proxy](https://theta42.github.io/proxy/) (an OIDC + LDAP-aware reverse proxy)
and [theta-env](https://theta42.github.io/theta-env/) (the two composed with
one command).

## Why this over the alternatives
Tools like Keycloak, Authentik, Authelia, or Zitadel are OIDC providers, but
LDAP is either a paid feature, a federation target you have to run
separately, or absent. If your stack already has apps that speak LDAP
directly — or you just want one real directory as the source of truth — you
end up running *two* identity systems and keeping them in sync.
SSO Manager bundles the OpenLDAP directory with the OIDC provider, so OIDC
apps and LDAP apps read from the same users and groups. The trade-off is
scope: it's intentionally small and self-hosted, not an enterprise IAM suite.
If you want a lightweight, self-contained identity provider with a real LDAP
backend, that's the niche.
## Features
- **OpenID Connect / OAuth 2.0 provider** — your own access/refresh/ID
tokens; standard discovery document at `/.well-known/openid-configuration`.
- **Bundled OpenLDAP directory** — users, groups, POSIX accounts, SSH public
keys, and sudo roles, with `memberOf` + referential-integrity overlays.
- **Web management UI** — users, groups, and OAuth clients from a browser;
invite and password-reset flows over email; self-service profile + API
tokens.
- **Direct LDAP binds** — anything that binds LDAP directly (Linux hosts
via PAM/SSSD, Gitea, Emby, …) uses LDAPS/StartTLS against the same
directory.
- **All-in-one Docker image** — app + OpenLDAP + Redis in one container, or
run the pieces separately via `app_*` env config.
- **Geo-Location Scaling** — built-in support for N-Way Multi-Master OpenLDAP [replication](replication.html) across physical sites.
- **[Directory & Inventory](directory.html)** — map sites, hosts, and services as a graph with rich metadata (IP/MAC, OS/kernel, ports, git repos), auto-provisioned access groups, and automatic registration from theta-env and ldap-client. Drives directory-aware tools like the [SSH jump host](https://theta42.github.io/jump-host/).
- **[Theta Agent & Endpoint C2](agents.html)** — 2-way Go daemon (`theta-agent`) for real-time telemetry (CPU, RAM, Disk, ZFS, GPU), automated host discovery, SSSD/LDAP configuration, and local capability-controlled management operations.
## Get it
```bash
git clone https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node.git
cd sso-manager-node
cp secrets.js.example nodejs/conf/secrets.js # edit it, or use app_* env
docker compose up -d --build
```
That's the standalone quick start. For the full set of install options
(Docker, bare-metal, or as part of the combined SSO + proxy stack), the
`app_*` env reference, and the OAuth/LDAP internals, see the
**[GitHub repository](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node)**.
