- 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.
