Use Synapse users as LDAP / Oauth #875

Open TheOneWithTheBraid opened 3 years ago

TheOneWithTheBraid commented 3 years ago

It would be great to have a way to use Synapse's user management for external services based on LDAP or Oauth.

In particular, I was thinking of Matrix rooms as Organisational Units (ou) and their access level as the corresponding LDAP permissions.

This would allow a seamless integration of Matrix into services like BigBlueButton, Nextcloud or mail servers.

E.g. in Nextcloud, each Matrix room member could be given access to a personal place to store files etc.
