WSO2 updates its open-source identity and access management (IAM) software, Identity Server.
Key features of Identity Server 7.0 include a new authentication API, a new visual editor, and one-click access to application templates.
The new authentication API allows developers to build authentication flows that happen directly in the app instead of redirecting to the browser. It supports conditional authentication based on risk factors, user context and access, and other considerations. It also supports the use of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect flows.
A new visual editor allows developers to view both graphical and code views side-by-side. This allows them to visually see what the user will see as they write the code.
The new one-click templating approach gives developers easy access to a variety of app templates (web, mobile, single-page, etc.) and authentication types (one-time password, trusted token provider, third-party authentication, etc.).
“Organizations delivering digital experiences need an IAM solution that enables developers to readily adapt to the evolving needs of the business, customers and partners,” said Geethika Cooray, vice president and general manager of identity and access management at WSO2. “Our secret sauce has always been to provide developers with a great experience that maximizes their productivity and flexibility, and WSO2 Identity Server 7.0 takes that to a whole new level.”
