--- # Authenticate PVE users against Samba AD over verified LDAPS. # # WHY the AD realm and not OIDC: PVE's `ad`/`ldap` realms support a real user + # group SYNC (pveum realm sync), so permissions can be granted to a group BEFORE # anyone logs in, and username+password works for the API/CLI (Terraform, # pvesh). PVE's OIDC realm only creates users on first browser login and cannot # do non-interactive auth. Authelia OIDC can be added later as an EXTRA realm # for convenient SSO; it is not a replacement. pve_auth_realm: ad # users appear as @ad pve_auth_domain: ad.ddupan.top # MUST be the hostname, NEVER 192.168.10.5: the DC's LDAPS cert is issued by # OpenBao ACME with a DNS SAN only (no IP SAN), so verification fails by IP with # "IP address mismatch".
