The new capabilities and unified IAM experience are now available with WSO2 Identity Server 7.0 and the latest releases of Asgardeo and WSO2 Private Identity Cloud. Developers and other technology professionals can download WSO2 Identity Version 7.0, try Asgardeo for free, and learn more about WSO2 Private Identity Cloud.
The latest release of WSO2’s widely adopted, open-source identity and access management (IAM) software, WSO2 Identity Server 7.0 empowers software developers. Version 7.0 optimizes the developer experience via a new authentication API for native, in-app, browser-less authentication; new visual editor that enables side-by-side graphical and code views; and new one-click access to application templates and authentication methods.
“Organizations delivering digital experiences need an IAM solution that enables developers to readily adapt to the evolving needs of the business, customers and partners. Our secret sauce has always been to provide developers an awesome experience that maximizes their productivity and flexibility, and WSO2 Identity Server 7.0 takes that to a whole new level,” said Geethika Cooray, Vice President and General Manager of Identity and Access Management, WSO2.
WSO2 Identity Server 7.0 also adds support for comprehensive business-to-business (B2B) functionality and financial-grade API security. Additionally, it now shares the same code base and modern user interface (UI) offered with WSO2 Private Identity Cloud and Asgardeo, WSO2’s identity as a service (IDaaS) solution.
Version 7.0 builds on the proven capabilities of WSO2 Identity Server, which manages more than 1 billion identities worldwide. The new authentication API for app-native, browser-less authentication lets developers create in-app login flows instead of redirecting to a browser—optimizing the user experience without compromising security. The API supports the ability to orchestrate authentication conditionally based on risk factors, user/access context, and other considerations without changing the app logic. Additionally, it enables the use of OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect flows without browser support, guarantees a client’s identity and proof of possession, and only communicates with legitimate client apps.
A new visual editor offers side-by-side graphical and code views. So, as developers are building an app, they can now witness the login journey as the user does while also seeing the underlying code, helping to improve the quality and speed of development. WSO2 Identity Server 7.0 now goes beyond extensive business-to-consumer (B2C) customer IAM (CIAM) and workforce IAM capabilities to also offer the industry’s most comprehensive B2B CIAM support.
