Authentik is an open source identity provider designed for maximum flexibility and adaptability. It integrates easily into existing environments and supports new protocols.
It is a comprehensive solution for implementing features such as login, account recovery and more in your application, eliminating the need to manage these tasks manually.
Authentik integrates seamlessly into an existing environment to add support for new protocols without requiring significant refactoring. It supports all major providers, including OAuth2, SAML, LDAP and SCIM, allowing the selection of the appropriate protocol for each application.
“The customizability and ability to implement any possible workflow sets Authentik apart from most identity providers. We offer a wide range of support for protocols and integrations with the ability to automate everything via our API, Terraform or our Blueprint system. Authentik was designed from the start to give administrators the freedom to configure Identity to suit their needs and they don’t have to change their processes to work with Authentik,” Jens Langhammer, CTO of Authentik Security, told Help Net Security.

“Features we plan to expand in the future include privileged access management with customizable approval flows and time-based access, desktop authentication agents, device trust, and more zero-trust networking capabilities for complex environments. In addition, we want to continue to improve the overall UX and work with customers to implement the things they need,” Langhammer said.
Authentik is available for free on GitHub.
