Grafana OSS and LDAP Team sync

That feature available only on Enterprise edition. However spend some time to investigate opensource repo and the solution was found.

Note: The patch was tested on 11.5.1 version

Here I would like to share git-patch as draft.

How to implement the git-patch

  • Clone original version
git clone https://github.com/grafana/grafana.git
  • Checkout v11.5.1 version
git checkout v11.5.1
  • Apply git-patch
git apply ldap_team_sync.patch
  • Build docker image
make build-docker-full

Last step is creating a docker image grafana/grafana-oss:dev.

Run container

  • Setup LDAP config to connect into your AD resource

  • Provide config.ini with defined Team based on LDAP Group

[[servers.team_mappings]]
team = "g_o_admin"
group_dn  = "CN=G_O_Admin,OU=Groups,DC=domain,DC=local"
email      = "no_reply@domain.local"
org_id    = 1
[[servers.team_mappings]]
team = "g_o_staff"
group_dn  = "CN=G_O_Staff,OU=Groups,DC=domain,DC=local"
email      = "no_reply@domain.local"
org_id    = 1

  • Login with ldap account which has one of provided group

  • Check teams in Grafana UI. The user has to assigned into the group as Admin
