Authelia
Free open-source modern IAM solution with OpenID Connect support

Authelia is a free and open-source Identity and Access Management (IAM) platform that provides authentication and authorization for web applications. It supports Single Sign-On via OpenID Connect 1.0, session cookies, and trusted headers, along with features like multi-factor authentication, login regulation, and granular authorization policies. Written in Go and React, it is designed to be lightweight, fast, and suitable for self-hosted deployments including Kubernetes.
Authelia acts as an authentication gateway that enforces login policies, supports SSO via OpenID Connect and session cookies, and integrates with LDAP or internal user databases to control access to resources.
