Hi Bront,

Yes, as of LabKey Server 20.1, LDAP authentication will be available in all premium editions, but not the community edition. LDAP group/user synchronization and the LDAP authentication search feature are already premium only, and we're rewriting the code to incorporate LDAP search settings into the standard configuration page and support multiple configurations; maintaining our LDAP code across multiple repositories no longer makes sense. This also groups LabKey's enterprise-level authentication providers (LDAP, CAS, SAML, Duo) together in the Professional Edition and above.

Community Edition will continue to support database authentication; no change there. We added a "Has Password" column to the Site Users table to help administrators who want to migrate users from LDAP authentication to database authentication. See https://www.labkey.org/Documentation/Archive/19.3/wiki-page.view?name=manageUsers#site

Thanks,
Adam
