This is a hugely requested feature for many years and a huge hole in my entire self hosted ecosystem. Every self-hosted app I have connects to my Authentik system for user management… Except home assistant. Arguably one of the apps I need it for the most for the whole family to use with their accounts.
Devs have been resistant for some reason.
There is now a community integratation that allows user management for HA to be via any openID backend (authentik, keycloak etc).
I’ve been running it for a few days and it works perfectly. Very easy to setup if you already have a working authentik setup and know how to use it with other apps like immich.
Authentik handles SSO for all my apps like immich, linkwarden, owncloud etc. Openid when available but some web apps are done via forward proxy auth. Jellyfin uses LDAP via authentik which isn’t sso technically.
Other than me, no one else mounts samba shares directly. All personal files are synced to server and other devices with owncloud (OCIS).
