I hate to be this guy, really. I would like to adopt Supabase in my company, but I cannot yet.

I commented on a HN post almost a year ago about how hard is to do custom Auth with Supabase. I still haven't find a good solution about it. For example, LDAP Auth is quite crucial in most enterprise settings, yet I have no idea how to do it with Supabase. I can find a workaround for PostgREST by putting a secondary API written in some other language and fiddling with reverse proxies. But how to do with Supabase, such that all other services (realtime,...) works nicely? Is it so hard to provide a function that accept a custom strategy given the HTTP request data?

I created an issue[0] almost a year ago on Supabase, which was transferred to Gotrue. I even provided some code examples from Laravel. Even if it is not specifically for LDAP, make some API available to do so, please.

> Even if it is not specifically for LDAP, make some API available to do so, please.

Based on the issue (title and comment), it seems that you have asked specifically for LDAP support rather than a generic API.

Feel free to share some more details in the github issue, so the Auth team can figure out how best to support you. It looks like they have followed up asking for the use-case and they are just waiting for some clarifying details.


One killer feature from Firebase is anonymous authentication https://firebase.google.com/docs/auth/web/anonymous-auth

This allows for a frictionless onboarding process for startups.

Are there plans for Supabase to support that?


that's on the roadmap - definitely one of our most requested Auth features. I don't have a timeline yet, but I know it's somewhere at the top of the (kanban) list for the Auth team


Thanks
