Secure Jellyfin on Unraid. Want to lock down your Jellyfin server the RIGHT way? 🔐
This complete step-by-step tutorial shows you how to secure Jellyfin on Unraid with Authentik, including Single Sign-On (SSO), LDAP, and Two-Factor Authentication (2FA/MFA).
⚠🚨Credit to @rfkgaming in our Discord, "@Dark_Lobster" and "@latin102" in YouTube comments: "Set the bind flow, which was empty in the video, but is required and needs to be set to the LDAP flow that was created earlier." Sorry for any confusion, but we accidentally cut it in editing, which happens when the caffeine runs out.
Prefer Docker Compose?
docs.goauthentik.io/install-config/install/docker-compose
What you’ll learn:
✅ How to install and configure Authentik on Unraid
✅ Setting up LDAP authentication in Authentik
✅ Connecting Jellyfin to LDAP for central logins
✅ Adding TOTP (2FA) for multi-factor security
✅ Testing the full SSO + LDAP + MFA login flow
Why this matters:
Exposed media servers like Jellyfin are popular targets for attackers. By using Authentik with LDAP + TOTP, you add enterprise-grade security while making sign-ins easier for family and friends. MFA EVERYTHING!
