help connecting jellyfin

Hey! I was hoping I could get some help connecting Jellyfin to LLDAP. I've followed the guide here (https://github.com/lldap/lldap/blob/main/example_configs/jellyfin.md), but it does not say what the LDAP server URL, port or LDAP bind password is to get it to work with Jellyfin. My LDAP server is available at http://10.0.0.10:7958/. I have therefore given it the following connection information, but I am getting a "Connect: Connect Error". Any ideas how to fix this?

Here's a brand new thread for you! Please keep the discussion for this problem in this thread.

@ishan jain You got it working with Jellyfin, didn't you? What information did you enter into the LDAP server and LDAP port?
i
@NightKnight Don't use secure ldap with this. I think lldap doesn't support it
n
@ishan jain Great, thanks! That kind of works, or at least I am progressing. Now I get an error saying "Connect (Success); Bind: Invalid Credentials"
i
check ldap bind user and ldap bind password
n
What is the ldap bind password?
Oh, that admin password.
i
Yes
@NightKnight you can use the admin credentials but it's highly recommended to make a separate user for this, Add this user to
lldap_strict_readonly
and then use the credentials for that user to log in
n
I see, I see
i
lldap_strict_readonly
or if you need it to be editable,
lldap_password_manager
n
I was able to log in with my user from LDAP, but it is not given admin privileges in Jellyfin
My user who is member of lddap_admin is not granted admin privileges in Jellyfin?
n
Just a note: lldap does support secure LDAP, you just have to configure it in the config (certificate path, port and so on)
n
Update: I deleted the user in Jellyfin and signed in again, not it had admin access. Seemed to have worked itself out.
i
my config looks like this
n
Ah, no, I meant enable it in the lldap config
n
Why is your LDAP Admin Base DN empty? Mine is not?
n
It's not entirely necessary, but it's better if you put the same base DN as the users
i
Yess, understood. I just want to help nightknight with config in jellyfin 🙂

Ah, sorry, I got the 2 of you mixed up 😅
