If anyone knows an identity solution that supports bilateral and multilateral saml (federation of identity providers), automatic retrieval of metadata/certs, Oauth, Oidc, group rules, IDP discovery (routing to IDP based on identifier), wayfless, and IP Authentication I would love to hear about it. We run a B2B that sells our web based service into education (primary to through to university) and have a small team so…

We (FusionAuth) cover most of this. I think we do bilateral and multilateral SAML. More details in our docs: https://fusionauth.io/docs/v1/tech/core-concepts/integration...

We do OAuth, OIDC, and idp routing based on domain or id. We track ips and have the ability (in the Enterprise tier) to add IP ACLs, but I am not sure what you mean by IP authentication.

I am not sure what you mean by wayfless, not familiar with that term.

Feel free to reach out to me for more info if you'd like to chat, my contact info is in my profile.

> The main difference with Auth0 and WorkOS is that BoxyHQ is being built on an open source ethos. Our focus is to be a developer-first security platform, putting developers at the centre of our holistic approach and help them close the gap between compliance and security. Not to detract from this project, but I'm familiar with Auth0 and WorkOS both, and I think both would say the same thing about themselves.

I don't think that either Auth0 or WorkOS is open source. I am sure they both have open source example projects. I know that I have seen Auth0 sponsor open source too.

But as far as pure open source authentication solutions, the ones I know of are:

* Keycloak

* Ory

* Identity server (.net)

But Auth0/WorkOS are definitely focused on building a developer first security platforms. Along with a lot of other companies.

Thanks I was looking further at GitHub and realise that Jackson and Hermes etc are your product names. Perhaps you could mention these product names on the marketing site so there is a bit of continuity between that and GitHub/docs? I like the humour. My instinct would be to either “own” those product names fully and use them boldly throughout, or deemphasise them in favour of your Boxy brand… :) Looking at the Audit…

Futurama

Thanks :)

Keycloak does a good bit of this and is open source. It's an outstanding project. It's my go-to for anything that requires login, especially for its SAML/OIDC support.

Hi mooreds, would love to get access to a FusionAuth account where we could set up and test your SAML identity provider (would also help us build an instructions guide for FusionAuth customers). Could you make this happen?

Hi deepakprab,

You can download and run the community version in a variety of formats. For testing you could spin up an ec2 instance if you'd like.

Download it here: https://fusionauth.io/download

If you want us to manage it, you can sign up for a basic cloud here: https://fusionauth.io/pricing

Let me know if you have questions.

Congrats on launching! I work for a competitor (FusionAuth), but there's plenty of room for more different ideas and companies. I like the open source ethos and appreciate you being upfront with your future business plans. Welcome!

Thanks mooreds, we are all working towards a common mission. Looking forward to expanding the market togather.
