Emby only uses LDAP to create users and validate passwords upon login. Emby administrators are always validated via native emby login. For more details see.

Replace dc=example,dc=com with your OpenLDAP configured domain.

Bind DN

cn=admin,ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

Bind Credentials

changeme (replace with your password)

User search base

ou=people,dc=example,dc=com

User search filter

replace the emby_user cn with the group name for accounts that should be able to login to Emby, otherwise leave the default (uid={0}).

(&(uid={0})(memberOf=cn=emby_user,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com))
