    Hi all,
    I'm working on beefing up my security a bit and want to get away from Local Database Auth and have my team log in with individual credentials - I have LDAP working with my G Suite Google Workspace Directory and GUI logins are fine, but no luck with SSH.

    I see a couple posts asking about this from a few years back but no seemingly no resolution, any help?

    Thanks!

      You want to use LDAP over SSH, like via an SSH tunnel?

      Or you want to authenticate SSH logins using LDAP?

        It's not yet possible for SSH users to login via LDAP: https://redmine.pfsense.org/issues/8698

            @jimp Thanks for the info, do you have the power/ability to make it happen? If so what's your price? (not a joke)

            Otherwise, can I use any external authentication server like RADIUS or am I stuck with local authentication for SSH sessions?

              RADIUS shell authentication is implemented in 2.5:
