Using LDAPv3 to authenticate against MacOS

I am attempting to connect MacOS directly to Authentik using the LDAP interface, but I have been unable to get it working so far. I have already successfully set up an SSSD connection, confirming that the Authentik LDAP service itself is functional. However, I have not been able to find any documentation or resources on using the Authentik LDAP interface specifically with MacOS.

This leads me to my main question - is it even possible to authenticate MacOS systems against the Authentik LDAP outpost? In my research, I came across a few reports suggesting that the Authentik LDAP interface may not be feature complete compared to a full LDAP server.

Before investing more time troubleshooting, I wanted to confirm whether direct MacOS authentication is an intended/supported use case. Any insights or experiences from the community would be greatly appreciated.

Has anyone successfully connected MacOS to Authentik via the LDAP interface? Or alternatively, can anyone definitively confirm that this is not currently possible due to limitations of the Authentik LDAP implementation?

Thank you in advance for your help!
