Authelia – authentication and authorization server

Authelia is an authentication and authorization server and portal fulfilling the identity and access management (IAM) role of information security in providing multi-factor authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for your applications via a web portal.

It acts as a companion for common reverse proxies.

This is free and open source software.

Features include:

  • Intuitive user interface.
  • Lightweight – compressed container size smaller than 20 megabytes and observed memory usage normally under 30 megabytes,
  • Fast.
  • Efficient.
  • Highly available using a remote database and Redis as a highly available KV store.
  • Single Sign-On – offers the convenience of just being required to login once to a wide range of web applications via a session cookie, OpenID Connect 1.0, or Trusted Headers.
  • Authorization Policies – control which users and groups have access to which specific resources or domains with granular policy definitions. Fine-grained access control using rules which match criteria like subdomain, user, user group membership, request uri, request method, and network.
  • Identity Validation – users who have not configured a second-factor device are required to validate their identity via an email reducing the chance an attacker could exploit a lazy user.
  • Scalability – designed with high availability in mind, deployment options exist to easily allow multiple parallel containers on lifecycle management platforms like Kubernetes.
  • Multi-Factor Authentication – support for multiple second-factor methods including One Time Passwords with compatible authenticator applications, Mobile Push Notifications, and security Keys that support FIDO2 WebAuthn with devices like a YubiKey.
  • Kubernetes Support: Compatible with several Kubernetes ingress controllers:
    • ingress-nginx.
    • Traefik Kubernetes CRD.
    • Traefik Kubernetes Ingress.
    • Istio.
  • Beta support for OpenID Connect.
