Open Source Identity and Access Management For Modern Applications and Services

Summary

Keycloak is a powerful open-source Identity and Access Management (IAM) system designed for modern applications and services. It provides standard protocols like OpenID Connect, OAuth 2.0, and SAML 2.0, enabling developers to easily secure their applications with features like Single Sign-On, user federation, social login, and centralized administration.

Problem Solved

Modern applications often consist of multiple independent services, each requiring user authentication and authorization. Implementing robust security features like Single Sign-On, handling user registration, password recovery, and integrating with various identity providers from scratch for every service is complex, time-consuming, and error-prone. Keycloak centralizes these concerns, offering a secure, standards-based solution.
