Show HN: Obligator – An OpenID Connect server for self-hosters
I was expecting hydra / kratos to show up as an alternative.. but did not see any. Does any have any experience, good or bad about it?

Show HN: Blueprint for a distributed multi-region IAM with Go and CockroachDB
I think it would be fair to say that kratos was not the priority in 2022 in terms of code you can see not much was commited (https://github.com/ory/kratos/graphs/code-frequency) so I might have had a bad first impression.
A few issues on kratos that I consider relatively important are still missing / nobody from Ory is giving their input so it's hard to make progress and I would not take my time to contribute if I dont know if the owner are going to merge it.
An example that comes to mind is the OAuth email auto-verification or the search of users that is still super basic (we only recently got the filter of identifiers).
Sorry to hear that this has been your experience! What exactly was the issue for you? It’s true that there are lots of open PRs. We’re a small team and often busy with customer requirements which doesn’t allow us to get a some community PRs over the finishing line.
Sometimes, PRs are also not aligning with an architecture or API concept which is when they often go stale.
Saying that the open source is second class is a false accusation in my view:
- Over 1500 PRs merged in Ory Kratos alone: https://github.com/ory/kratos/pulls
- Show HN: Open-source IAM Ory Kratos v1.0 with Passkeys, MFA and multi-region
-
Show HN: Open-source Auth0 alternative Ory Kratos v0.13 released – nearing v1.0
Check out the milestone on github: https://github.com/ory/kratos/milestone/15
not sure if that is everything.

State of OpenID Connect Providers
An open source solution pre-built from professionals like Ory Kratos or Keycloak saves you a lot of time and pain.

Tell HN: Stytch Login SaaS Unicorn has common auth vulnerabilities
One might say you wouldn't be surprised. Security practices at start ups have never been good (no regulation, focus on sales) but to see this lack of security awareness in a company protecting PII is shocking. But what do VCs know ...
As always when something like this happens, here are some good open source alternatives with appropriate security policies and bug bounties in place:
* https://github.com/keycloak/keycloak
* https://github.com/ory/kratos
* https://github.com/GluuFederation (potentially dated for some use cases)
- Something like Keycloak but in Go?

Top Terraform Tools to Know in 2024
A popular Policy-as-Code tool for Terraform is OPA, everyone's favorite versatile open-source policy engine that enforces security and compliance policies across your cloud-native stack, making it easier to manage and maintain consistent policy enforcement in complex, multi-service environments.

Build and Push to GAR and Deploy to GKE - End-to-End CI/CD Pipeline
Harness Policy As Code uses Open Policy Agent (OPA) as the central service to store and enforce policies for the different entities and processes across the Harness platform. In this section, you will define a policy that will deny a pipeline execution if there is no approval step defined in a deployment stage.

10 Ways for Kubernetes Declarative Configuration Management
OPA: While OPA is an open-source, general-purpose policy engine capable of enforcing unified and context-aware policies throughout the stack, it can also accept and output data in formats such as JSON, effectively functioning as a tool for generating or modifying configurations. Although it does not provide out-of-the-box schema definition support, it allows the integration of JsonSchema definitions.

Securing CI/CD Images with Cosign and OPA
In essence, container image signing involves adding a digital stamp to an image, affirming its authenticity. This digital assurance guarantees that the image is unchanged from creation to deployment. In this blog, I'll explain how to sign container images for Kubernetes using Cosign and the Open Policy Agent. I will also share a tutorial that demonstrates these concepts.

CIAM vs. IAM: What's the difference (2022)
CIAM is not nearly as popular of a term as it needs to be. When most developers build apps today, they still look at their cloud provider's IAM or Active Directory for inspiration in design of their customer-facing systems. I think this article is actually understating the complexity. Conway's Law rules all and sometimes your systems and users won't even necessarily be in your control. I urge folks to look into policy engines like OPA[0] and ReBAC systems like SpiceDB[1] rather than reinventing the wrong wheel.

You Broke Reddit: The Pi-Day Outage
At this point, someone spotted that we were getting a lot of timeouts in the API server logs for write operations. But not specifically on the writes themselves. Rather, it was timeouts calling the admission controllers on the cluster. Reddit utilizes several different admission controller webhooks. On this cluster in particular, the only admission controller we use that’s generalized to watch all resources is Open Policy Agent (OPA). Since it was down anyway, we took this opportunity to delete its webhook configurations. The timeouts disappeared instantly… But the cluster didn’t recover.
