Hello,

It would be greate to get following new module (or modification of existing one) to enable Azure Active Directory synchronization (in HTTPS not LDAP)

Feature Request

There is a module to synchronise Piwigo users and groups from an Active Directory (OnPrem or deployed on Cloud VMs), but on our side we have an Azure Active Directory directly managed from our Azure tenant. With this technology, if you want to use LDAP protocol, you need to enable AD DS (Domain Services) but this is not the best solution for me : AD DS brings fees and delays.

Use case

As Microsoft is pushing their web services, there will be more and more small companies with only AAD. And HTTPS protocol will replace LDAP protocol for them. As AAD is a free service you can get as soon as you have a Office365 subscription it is really intersting to use it without additional layers (like Domain Services) adding complexity for deployment and maintenance.

Suggested implementations

I hope it will help other companies using Piwigo! :)

Thanks and best regards,
