I use Keycloak at work. How does Authentik compare?

I’ve never tried Keycloak so I’m not sure, sorry.

One feature Authentik has that I don’t think Authelia nor Keycloak support is operating as an LDAP server. With Authelia at least, you have to run a separate LDAP server if you need LDAP. With Authentik, it’s built in.

I guess I’ll have to do the research myself. Ohh bother. I can tell you that Keycloak can use a postgresql db or ldap but it is not built in. I honestly really dislike LDAP though. It’s an old protocol that has terrible client support and the only real reason to use it imo is if you need to support really high number of users and traffic, like in the millions.

I don’t like it either, but there’s probably some apps that only support LDAP.
