Greetings,
Im using Node-RED version 4.0.6. I want to login with LDAP to Node-RED but the extensions that I find are deprecated and cant be usable for me.
Is there a better way to implement LDAP login for Node-RED without using extensions?
Where is Node RED sitting? On a windows Server?
You could use an IIS reverse proxy and have IIS trigger windows auth?
I.e have IIS manage authentication
Most people would do this via a proxy. Marcus has mentioned doing it on Windows with IIS but on all platforms you could also use something like NGINX with a suitable extension. Most people would prefer to use Linux for this but it can also be done on Windows if needed though I'd agree that IIS with AD/AAD integration is best there.

Thanks for the answer. This method seems very effective. Node Red is running in Linux environment and I checked if I can do it with Nginx. But I came across a problem.
While Nodered running on port 1880 on server, I cannot redirect requests coming to port 1880 on Nginx to LDAP server. Port 1880 needs to be open for Nginx to listen, but this port is used by Node Red.
What I want is for NodeRed needs to be running and for requests coming to NodeRed (i.e. port 1880) to be directed to our LDAP URL.
What method should I follow in this case?
Which LDAP auth plugins have you used?
is not deprecated.
