authentik

Self-hosted, open source identity provider with OIDC, SAML, LDAP and proxy authentication.

authentik is a self-hosted identity provider. It signs users in through OIDC, SAML, LDAP, SCIM, RADIUS and Kerberos, and it can also protect applications as a proxy. Authentik Security Inc. holds the copyright. The install guide covers Docker Compose and Kubernetes.

Worth knowing

The MIT license covers the core code; the authentik/enterprise directory has a separate license file, and the website directory is under CC BY-SA 4.0. A paid Enterprise tier sits beside the open-source edition.
