  • Keycloak

    Open Source Identity and Access Management For Modern Applications and Services

  • If you just have some services/users at a remote location that you want to authenticate/authorize using your existing user directory, I’d recommend using OAuth2/OpenID Connect over https. This has the added benefit of enabling users to enroll multi-factor, federating with other identity providers (if you want), is more future proof (LDAP isn’t cloud native/friendly), and can be exposed to the Internet without the need of a VPN relatively safely. Another benefit is support for remote users and SaaS - for example, enabling users working from home to authenticate to SaaS applications using their directory login (without SSL/agent-VPNs or punching holes in firewall). Examples include: Okta(free tier permits 2000 monthly active users), Keycloak,Dex,ory.sh.
