Hi, I'm maintainer of Wekan.

Wekan is available on many platforms: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Platforms

a) In Wekan standalone version it's possible to disable self-registration in Admin Panel. There is inviting users, user permissions Admin/Normal/Comment only, but not user management yet:

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Features#authentication-...

and in next version it's possible for user to change password: https://github.com/wekan/wekan/blob/devel/CHANGELOG.md

b) In https://sandstorm.io version there is already user management, Google/GitHub/LDAP/SAML authentication etc:

Newest version of Wekan is coming to Sandstorm in near future, progress is at:

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/799



Is there a reason things like LDAP and SAML are Sandstorm only?


Hi, I'm current maintainer of Wekan.

There are issues for having LDAP/Saml/GitHub/Google etc auth for Standalone Wekan, but they are not implemented yet.

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/wiki/Integrations#authenticat...

Sandstorm platform brings LDAP, SAML etc authentication to all apps running on Sandstorm.

Sandstorm has long list of sandboxing and other high-end security features:

https://docs.sandstorm.io/en/latest/using/security-practices...

All of Sandstorm is now Open Source, including Blackrock clustering:

I suspect that the primary developers may be unfamiliar with AD/LDAP.

https://github.com/wekan/wekan/issues/119


Wekan is pretty much fully community contribution-driven. So the answer for it not having it's own AD/LDAP support at this point is that nobody has seemed interested in actually doing it and submitting a PR.


not the op, but I would guess because those are features of sandstorm, and they are just piggybacking on the authentication
