Does it have Authentication yet? Last time I checked there were no users or administrations or any permissions

View on HN

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?

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

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

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.

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:

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

It does have users, I'm running it on my own server. I've found that it's actually not trivial to disable registration (you have to patch the source, there's no configuration option for it).

For Standalone Wekan, Teams/Organizations/User admin is currently at planning stage:
