Jinfo: Market landscape - authentication and access solutions

Market landscape - authentication and access solutions
Jinfo Report

22nd November 2017

Abstract

In this market landscape we look at eight products in the field of authentication and access:

AuthAnvil
Gluu server IAM platform
Okta IT
OneLogin SSO
OpenAthens
PingFederate
Shibboleth Identity Provider
WSo2 Identity Server.

We provide a brief description of each product, a link to the vendor's homepage and product page. We also cover typical users, geographic scope, special features, value the product offers and Jinfo coverage. Key acronyms and phrases include SSO (single sign-on), IAM (identity and access management), LDAP (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol), federated identity management.

Whilst most of these products are broadly in the field of identity management and access management, they offer a variety of ways to achieve a common goal of ensuring end users have easy access to databases and content platforms, for example. They can also offer information centre managers usage statistics, time savings in administration of access rights, and can help ensure the organisation remains copyright compliant.
