		Related Products FusionAuth FusionAuth is a modern, developer-focused identity and access management platform built to give you full control over your authentication stack. Whether you’re building a startup app or managing enterprise-scale infrastructure, FusionAuth delivers all the must-have features — from login and SSO to advanced protocols like OAuth2, OIDC, SAML, and WebAuthn — in a self-hostable or cloud-native package. Designed with developers in mind, FusionAuth integrates seamlessly with any language, framework, or architecture. Every capability is API-first and built for extensibility, so you can tailor authentication workflows without getting locked into rigid, inflexible systems. FusionAuth supports all the key use cases — user registration, multi-factor authentication (MFA), passwordless login, role-based access control, and more — while helping you stay compliant with GDPR, HIPAA, PCI, and other regulatory standards. 4.6 out of 5 stars 192 Ratings Visit Website for FusionAuth Auth0 Auth0 takes a modern approach to Identity, providing secure access to any application, for any user. Safeguarding billions of login transactions each month, Auth0 delivers convenience, privacy, and security so customers can focus on innovation. Auth0 is part of Okta, The World’s Identity Company™. Auth0 lets you quickly integrate authentication and authorization for web, mobile, and legacy applications, with new Fine Grained Authorization (FGA) that goes beyond role-based access control. Authenticate users across all applications with a customized, secure, and standards-based single login. Universal Login connects users to a central authorization server. Credentials aren’t transferred across sources, which boosts security and protects against phishing and credential stuffing attacks. OAuth 2.0 recommends that only external user agents (like the browser) be used by native applications for authentication flows. Auth0’s Universal Login achieves this while enabling SSO. 4.4 out of 5 stars 1,122 Ratings Visit Website for Auth0 Securden Unified PAM Securden Unified PAM is a privileged access security solution that lets you discover, centrally store, organize, share, manage, and keep track of all privileged identities, passwords, keys, documents, and other identities. It helps you establish a centralized password management system, automate management with approval workflows, control ‘who’ can access ‘what’, monitor, and record all access to critical IT assets, and enforce password security best practices. The major modules of Securden Unified PAM are password management, privileged account management, secure remote access, application control, endpoint privilege management, privileged session management, and SSH key management. The platform supports compliance with NIS2, DORA, NIST, PCI-DSS, HIPAA, and ISO-IEC 27001. Installation typically takes only a few minutes, and a complete production-ready PAM can be achieved in less than a month with Securden Unified PAM. 4.8 out of 5 stars 122 Ratings Visit Website for Securden Unified PAM Thinfinity Workspace Thinfinity Workspace is a virtual desktop (VDI) and virtual application (VDA) platform that runs natively on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), with no third-party hypervisor layer. It publishes Windows and Linux desktops and applications, internal web apps and files to any HTML5 browser or to native Windows, iOS and Android clients, with no VPN. The browser needs no install; the native clients add low-level USB device redirection. How it works: a gateway, a broker and a lightweight agent on each session host. Agents connect outbound to the gateway over port 443, so session hosts need no inbound firewall rules for user access. Sign-in works with Active Directory, LDAP, SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0 or RADIUS, with built-in multi-factor authentication and role-based permissions. Session recording and audit logging, with SIEM export, support HIPAA, GDPR and PCI DSS reviews. Linux, Java and web applications can also run as per-session containers on Kubernetes (OKE), and a REST API supports automation. Standard VDI features include multi-monitor, printing, clipboard and file transfer, USB redirection, session sharing, load balancing and high availability. Also deploys on AWS, Azure, Google Cloud, IONOS, VMware, Hyper-V, Proxmox, hybrid and air-gapped networks. Licensed per concurrent user. 4.7 out of 5 stars 16 Ratings Visit Website for Thinfinity Workspace ManageEngine ADManager Plus ADManager Plus is a simple, easy-to-use Windows Active Directory (AD) management and reporting solution that helps AD administrators and help desk technicians in their day-to-day activities.

AuthStack: About AuthStack is a host anywhere, Enterprise-grade, Single Sign-On (SSO) and Identity Access Management (IAM) System. It assumes responsibility for logging in users to your own, and optionally third-party websites and applications. Rather than managing multiple different logins for each website and application, AuthStack centralizes your user identity management so the user only has to login once and maintain one password and profile. Integration with AuthStack requires no custom coding if your website or application already supports SAML. If SAML is not supported we provide a Connector Framework, free of charge. We can also help you integrate the Connector if required. There is also no need to migrate your existing user database(s). AuthStack bundles with a Connector Framework which can communicate with any data source, whether that's LDAP, MySQL, SOAP, REST API, etc, to check credentials from existing user databases.
