Jellyfin authentication

[Vacate1464]

I've setup Authelia and LLdap to protect jellyfin and other services. I've had to remove authelia from jellyfin for 2 reasons.

1. After authenticating with authelia, you still have to login again directly into jellyfin. So 2 login pages for the user.
   
2. Due to having 2 login pages, authentication does not work with mobile or tv apps . I believe it's because there is no means to throw up a web browser for authelia to work?
   

What i'd to know is if i install jellyfin-plugin-sso, will the problem mentioned above go away? Is there an alternative to get the above working?

jellyfin-plugin-sso says it's only for the web UI. So while I haven't tried it myself, I would expect that it won't change anything.

SSO Auth is one of the Jellyfin bottleneck IMO. While almost any solution would work with the webui, all other clients remains unmanaged and you end up not implementing SSO because of that. If you only have a "family install", its ok. But if you add 10 friends to it and offer multiple services, its no longer possible unless everyone have 2 passwords following their clients and then it breaks all the SSO approach.

I hope this will be worked on in the future. SSO Auth capabilities should be unified in the core and not a simple webui pluggin.
