fusionauth-jwt VS authentik

FusionAuth is one of the most decorated and successful open-source IAM solutions. It has been downloaded by more than 10 million customers and hosts over 1 million digital identities.

Ideally, I would recommend not handling and storing passwords yourself. It is preferable to use an identity provider (IdP), such as Azure AD B2C, Auth0, or FusionAuth. These systems are designed to manage your users' identity (including their passwords) so you don't have to. You could also use Single Sign-On with cloud providers.

Concur.

Another data point. Our open source JWT library[0] and Java client library[1] both target Java 8 because that is widely used.

FusionAuth is the authentication and authorization platform built for devs, by devs. Our software solves the problem of integrating essential user security without adding risk or distracting from the primary application.

Ya know, the one with the features your users want to pay you for.

FusionAuth comes without the risk and complexity that typical identity systems have. With self-hosted or cloud installation, extensive documentation, free options, fast deployment and a no-hassle process, we eliminates hurdles that make it hard for developers to meet their authentication and authorization requirements.

We aren't VC funded, but we are profitable, growing fast, and need your help. We are currently hiring for the following roles:

Senior Java Engineer

Senior TechOps Engineer

Senior Support Engineer

But I rarely see a comprehensive comparison that is current for any of them. And then there are others out there like Teleport and FusionAuth.

This article is based upon a presentation from Dan Moore of FusionAuth.

FusionAuth is a powerful identity and access management platform that makes it easy to add authentication and authorization to your applications. In this blog post, we'll explore how to integrate FusionAuth with a Python Flask application using OAuth 2.0, covering features such as login, displaying user profile information, and logout functionality.

If you're looking for a system that has more features, is user friendly, a nice admin ui and easy deployments compared to Keycloak. Please give https://goauthentik.io/ a shot. Not affiliated in any way, just a very happy user.

It has

-an admin UI

- Supports (LDAP, SAML, OAUTH, social logins)

- MFA, Passkeys

- Application access based on user groups etc

Hey, for authentik this is actually something we're actively working on: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/pull/8330, and this will be included in our next feature release in April!

(Disclaimer, I am founder and CTO of authentik)

See here for the fix, which both implements the workaround suggested in the issue and also a much more standard-compliant method: https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/pull/8471

I've been searching around for a while now, and struggling with getting Authentik setup on my NAS. I'd like to deploy via Portainer, but getting lost in the documentation just to deploy.

Personally I went with Keycloak, because it's fairly well documented and also has Docker images available: https://www.keycloak.org/getting-started/getting-started-doc... although the fact that they want you to create an "optimized" image yourself and have a long build/setup process on startup instead is slightly annoying: https://www.keycloak.org/server/containers

Regardless, with something like mod_auth_openidc or another Relying Party implementation, all of the sudden authn/authz becomes easier to manage (you can literally get user information including roles in headers that are passed from your gateway/relying party to apps behind the reverse proxy), regardless of what you have actually running in your APIs: https://github.com/OpenIDC/mod_auth_openidc (there are other options, of course, but I went with that because I already use mod_md).

It's actually cool that there are plentiful options in the space, since OIDC is pretty complex in of itself and attempts at creating something pleasant to actually use are always welcome, I've also heard good things about Authentik: https://goauthentik.io/

Hello ! I am hosting a server under NixOS with multiple services, and to simply the identity management, I use authentik (https://goauthentik.io/) which can be compared to keycloak. Everything works fine until I try to enable mastodon to host an instance : authentik returns an error 400 and nothing changes this but disabling mastodon. Does anyone have an idea of what could be the cause of this ?

For Authentik, it looks like they are not interested to write how to configure HAProxy with it https://github.com/goauthentik/authentik/issues/5768
