Ask HN: Which LDAP server doesn't require a degree to run?

I have a bunch of services on my private servers that all support LDAP-based authentication, so I would like to deploy a suitable server for SSO. The only serious option seems to be OpenLDAP, which seems to consider itself a rather generic database that just happens to be used primarily for authentication. And even if I eventually get through the initial setup, that just gives me the directory service. I still would have to deploy something else to give the users a frontend for changing their password etc.

Can you recommend something simpler than that? Requirements:

- deployment on Linux server

- schema defines at least user accounts with passwords, and groups where users can be a member

- self-service web GUI for users: to review group membership and change passwords

- should not require a bazillion components (e.g. I ruled out Authelia after reading it wants an LDAP server and a Redis and a MongoDB)

This is not about an enterprise deployment with SLAs or anything. Just a dozen users and a handful of groups.
