You can use other parts of the Ory ecosystem to add these features, such as Ory Polis for SAML/SCIM support: https://github.com/ory/polis CAPTCHAs aren’t a big help anymore in my personal opinion, but you can easily integrate them on the frontend when using Kratos. The commercial offering just bundles all of this out of the box for you. If Keycloak fits your needs well and you see no room for improvement, that’s perfectly fine; by all means use what works best for you.

Hey everyone, we are Deepak and Sama, co-founders of BoxyHQ. We are posting our enterprise SSO project to seek feedback from the Reddit community. Over the past few months, the team has been working really hard on our SAML SSO project, our early customers love us. It would be great if you can share some insights or ideas you’d like to see in the project going forward. One of the most common requirements enterprises have for their SaaS providers is SSO (Single Sign-On) or SAML as it adds a layer of their internal authentication to your product. This way their users can access your product via one of their secure IdPs (Identity Providers), which manages access and security for the entire organization. tl;dr → https://github.com/boxyhq/jackson The project is called SAML Jackson. Jackson implements the SAML login flow as an OAuth 2.0 flow, ab

stracting away all the complexities of the SAML protocol. Our objective is that anyone could Integrate SAML with just a few lines of code. Developers can easily add single sign-on authentication to their products, and it supports most identity providers via SAML 2.0. More details about SAML Jackson features: - Jackson acts as a SAML Service Provider (SP) proxy, we do not intend to add functionality to make it an Identity Provider. Keycloak or Ory would be a great choice if you are looking for a SAML IdP - Integrates seamlessly with all popular OAuth 2.0 libraries out there - Supports most SAML providers out there - Okta, Azure AD, Auth0, Azure AD, OneLogin, Google SAML, Shibboleth - Supports PKCE flow, so suitable for SPA applications - Support SAML login on native mobile apps, a huge advantage since the traditional SAML flow is a little tricky to support on a native mobile app - Wide range of supported databases - Postgres, MariaDB, MySQL, MongoDB, Redis with an easy-to-extend interface to support other databases
