Features

Using IdentityServer as your identity provider provides many benefits out of the box. This, combined with its high degree of customizability, makes it the leading OpenID Connect Identity Provider available.

Open Source Identity Provider

IdentityServer is completely open source with no complex agreements to sign or subscriptions to pay. IdentityServer is developed to the OpenID Connect specification ensuring platform agnostic integration with no implementation specific requirements.

Single Sign On

IdentityServer comes with Single Sign On (SSO) out of the box. This is not only a user experience boon, with users only needing to log in to your brand's identity provider, but it also means that you only need to implement your authentication logic once.

Security for your APIs

Implementing both OpenID Connect and OAuth, IdentityServer can provide security for your sensitive internal resources, delegating and scoping access based on the requesting user or application.

Mobile

IdentityServer is fully compatible with all mobile devices, with existing libraries available that make Xamarin integration simple, and offer support for Proof-of-Possession tokens.

Rock Solid Services

Rock Solid Knowledge are the European Partners for IdentityServer, working closely with the IdentityServer creators to provide commercial services that can help you create and maintain your own identity solution.

Use Cases

Identity Server can be used for most modern security needs, but it can also improve and simplify many existing environments or be used for specific use cases.

Active Directory

IdentityServer is a prime candidate for decoupling yourself from the Microsoft stack, opening the door to simple integration with external services and mobile devices.

Standardization

Leave home grown implementations behind and standardize your identity solution, using up to date specifications written by industry leaders.

SharePoint

IdentityServer can provide centralized authentication and SSO for your SharePoint applications, reducing jarring log in screens.

Company Mergers

Simplify company mergers and user migrations by using IdentityServer to combine multiple credential stores into a single identity provider.

Identity Server 3 Release Announcement

1/25/2015 12:00:00 AM

Having spent a considerable amount of time in the WS*/SAML world, it became more and more apparent that these technologies are not a good match for the modern types of applications that we (and our customers) like to build. These types of applications are pretty much a combination of web and native UIs combined with web APIs. Security protocols need to be API, HTTP and mobile friendly, and we need authentication, API access and identity delegation as first class citizens...
