Oh, I’m sure it’s super rare. It’s actually quite easy to setup, but I’m not sure many people bother with the setup because LDAP (I’m not counting Active Directory) in general isn’t all that common. I know this just from the rarity of articles posted about getting it configured.

But once you do it, it’s something that’s easy to keep using because it’s so useful.

My favorite was setting up LDAP in combination with a jump host where I had a special program for the SSH command shell (like prgmr.com). I had it setup where the use could authenticate with a password, but then upload an SSH key from the custom shell.

I am not debating the usefulness of LDAP integrated with SSH. I am agree with you.
