Optimize with Gluu Flex

Open Standards

Because IAM is middleware, open standards are critical to connect a wide array of applications and systems. Gluu leverages OpenID to authenticate people using the Web, FIDO for passkey and security key authentication, OAuth to secure APIs, and SAML for B2B and legacy applications.   

OpenID

OpenID is a popular federated identity standard for web-based applications. Gluu and the upstream Linux Foundation Janssen Project have accumulated many Open Provider Certifications.  Not only can Gluu Flex act as an identity provider, but using Gluu’s OpenID Agama Project, you can link a person’s account with an external OpenID Provider.

SAML

SAML, the XML identity federation predecessor of OpenID Connect, is used primiarily by SaaS and older web-based enterprise applications for SSO.  In Flex, the Keycloak component provides the SAML IDP endpoints and acts as a SAML SP via the federation broker (to utilize an external SAML IDP). 

FIDO

A set of standards that enable the hardware, operating system, browser, and identity provider to authenticate a person using phishing-resistent, client-side biometrics.  Flex provides FIDO endpoint that support passkeys, USB, Bluetooth. and platform authenticators.

OAuth

OAuth is used to authenticate a person using a mobile device, or to authenticate software–identity is not just for humans! Using Flex, your business can manage how software clients register an asymetric secret, and which API endpoints they are authorized to access.

Multi Factor Authentication

On web or mobile, orchestrate the right amount of security friction

Passkey

Apple, Google and Microsoft have collaborated on federating FIDO capabilities they expose through their operating systems. This cooperation enables businesses to rollout passwordless authentication with unparalleled usability, security and deployability. 

One Time Password

Gluu has OOTB support for TOTP, which is the standard behind Google Authenticator and other one-time password applications. Not a panacea, but not a bad option for some use cases. 

SMS
SMS

While control of an SMS number is not a great indicator of human identity, it may the best or only option for your business. Don’t worry–we have your covered. Sign up with Twilio, and send SMS OTP codes in seconds.
