Open Source IdM
January 13th, 2009
Thanks to a meeting with a vendor just before Christmas, I recently became aware that there are more open source identity management projects out there than you think (or at least, more than I thought). Some are still in a pretty embryonic stage, but others have been around for a long time. Who knows, we might even need to jury rig a solution if times get tough.
Here’s the list of open source idm projects that I’m actually now aware of:
- AccessStream
- SourceID (identity federation toolkit from Ping Identity)
- OpenID
- Shibboleth
- Bandit Project
- Higgins Identity Framework
- OpenLDAP
And of course there is a whole bunch of stuff from Sun.
Has anyone used these successfully? Are there any others I’ve missed?
