What
is WSO2 Identity Server ?
WSO2
Identity Server is an enterprise-ready, fully-open source, lean,
component-based solution for facilitating security and provides
secure identity management for enterprise web applications, services,
and APIs by managing identity and entitlements of the user securely
and efficiently.
It helps improve
customer experience by reducing identity provisioning time,
guaranteeing secure online interactions, and delivering a reduced
single sign-on environment. WSO2 Identity Server decreases identity
management, entitlement management, and administration burden by
including role-based access control (RBAC) convention, fine-grained
policy-based access control, and SSO bridging.
