Dear support,  
I’m trying to configure LDAP authentication on a self-hosted Vikunja v0.24.4 instance (binary + systemd on Ubuntu), and the backend is silently ignoring the auth.ldap block in /api/v1/info, even though the config loads without error.  
I run the backend manually:

VIKUNJA\_CONFIG=/etc/vikunja/config.yml /opt/vikunja/vikunja web  
I check the API endpoint:

curl -s [http://localhost:3456/api/v1/info](http://localhost:3456/api/v1/info) | jq .auth

- LDAP does not appear:  
{  
“local”: { “enabled”: true },  
“openid\_connect”: { “enabled”: false, “providers”: null }  
}

* * *

I’ve tested placing ldap::

- Under auth: at top of file
- Above and below local: and openid:
- With correct indentation and keys
- With and without quotes

* * *

Tried manual backend upgrade to v0.24.6  
Still:

- Config loads  
\*LDAP still doesn’t appear  
\*Login attempts show:

ERROR ▶ 0eb Wrong username or password

I sincerely hope this is a known issue that can be fixed 🙂  
Best,  
AS

Welcome 👋

As stated [in the docs](https://vikunja.io/docs/ldap/), LDAP is not yet released. You need to switch to an unstable build or wait for the next stable release if you want to use it.

Hi 👋,  
Thanks for your reply. It seems I just scroll down to the configuration part, not reading a headline. 🙂 I think I will wait for the next stable release. I’m looking forward to it.  
Good luck with the development…
