# theta-suite # Theta suite
The whole theta42 identity, access, and secrets stack in one repo, brought up Theta Suite is your one-line solution to replacing fragmented, hard-to-wire
with a single command — for home labs and small businesses. authentication setups with a unified security stack. It wires together OIDC
authentication, LDAP user directories, automated host enrollment, and
centralized secret management in a single command. It eliminates the manual
configuration friction so you get secure access, auditability, and multi-site
replication running in seconds.

## Why this over running them separately
The components are designed to integrate — they're only useful together once
the proxy is registered as an OIDC client of the SSO *and* pointed at the
SSO's LDAP directory — and the domain has to match across half a dozen config
fields, or logins silently fail. Doing that by hand is fiddly. `setup.sh`
asks for your domain once, generates both apps' config with it filled in
everywhere, registers the proxy as an OIDC client automatically, and
snapshots state before every rebuild.
