Gluu Flex

Gluu Flex dashboard

Gluu Flex is an enterprise identity and access management software distribution for organizations that need to self-host authentication and authorization services. It is built to run as a highly available, performant, multi-datacenter IAM platform when data sovereignty, security requirements, or scale make SaaS limiting. Flex is Gluu’s flagship product: a commercial Identity Provider with an open source core, combining the Linux Foundation Janssen components with the Flex Admin UI and an enterprise control plane that adds features like reporting and audit.

What you can achieve with Gluu Flex
  • Workforce and CIAM federation with SAML and OpenID Connect, plus SSO
  • MFA and passwordless authentication, including step-up authentication for sensitive access
  • Identity orchestration for flexible web and mobile authentication journeys
  • API client management and dynamic registration to support modern app and API ecosystems
  • Support advanced scenarios such as Open Banking and OAuth federation through software statement key material publication
How Security Accent delivers Gluu Flex successfully

We deliver Gluu Flex as a structured access program, not only a platform setup. We help you design the target architecture and authentication journeys, implement federation and policies, and prepare operations for high availability and audit-ready governance in self-hosted environments.

Our typical delivery includes
  • Target architecture and rollout planning for self-hosted IAM infrastructure (HA and multi-environment readiness)
  • Federation configuration (OIDC/SAML), token/session design, and policy baseline
  • MFA, passwordless, and step-up authentication implementation aligned to your use cases
  • API client management and integration approach for applications and APIs
  • Operational readiness: reporting/audit enablement, logging, monitoring, runbooks, and knowledge transfer

It enables Single Sign-On (SSO), identity federation (SAML and OIDC), MFA, adaptive authentication, and centralized policy enforcement. For customer-facing scenarios, it also supports social login, flexible registration and login journeys, and step-up security for sensitive actions, helping you deliver secure access with low friction across channels.

What you can achieve with WSO2 Identity Server
  • Enable workforce SSO across business applications using SAML and OIDC federation
  • Implement MFA and step-up authentication for sensitive applications and transactions
  • Build adaptive authentication journeys (risk-based and context-aware access)
  • Deliver CIAM capabilities such as customer registration, login, account recovery, and social login
  • Centralize authentication policies and improve sign-in visibility for audits and investigations
How Security Accent delivers WSO2 Identity Server successfully

We deliver WSO2 Identity Server as a scalable program, not only a tool deployment. For workforce, we focus on clean federation patterns, consistent access policies, and phased application onboarding. For CIAM, we design secure customer journeys (registration, login, recovery), apply step-up controls for sensitive actions, and support operational readiness for a reliable customer experience.

Our typical delivery includes
  • Architecture and rollout planning (workforce and/or CIAM scope, target patterns, phased rollout)
  • Identity federation setup (SAML and OIDC configurations, token and session design)
  • MFA and step-up policy implementation (including adaptive authentication where required)
  • CIAM journey design (registration, login, social login, recovery, progressive profiling if needed)
  • Operational readiness: logging, monitoring, runbooks, and knowledge transfer

Microsoft Entra ID

Microsoft Entra ID home page

Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure Active Directory) is Microsoft’s cloud identity platform for Workforce Access Management and, when needed, External Identities. It helps organizations secure employee and contractor access through Single Sign-On (SSO), modern federation (OIDC/SAML), Conditional Access policies, and strong authentication. Beyond access, the wider Entra portfolio also enables identity governance capabilities such as lifecycle workflows, entitlement management, and access reviews, providing a consistent foundation for both Microsoft and non-Microsoft environments.

What you can achieve with Microsoft Entra ID
  • Enable workforce SSO across cloud and on-prem applications using OIDC and SAML federation
  • Enforce Conditional Access policies (risk-based access, device posture signals, location, and user context)
  • Strengthen authentication with MFA and step-up controls for sensitive applications
  • Apply identity governance controls through Entra capabilities such as lifecycle workflows, entitlement management, and access reviews
  • Improve audit readiness with centralized sign-in visibility and policy-based enforcement
How Security Accent delivers Microsoft Entra ID successfully

We help you implement Entra ID as a scalable program, not only an identity configuration task. We define the right access and governance patterns, onboard applications in phases, and align authentication and identity governance controls with your cybersecurity objectives while keeping user friction low.

Our typical delivery includes
  • Workforce access and governance architecture and rollout planning (SSO patterns, MFA approach, phased onboarding)
  • Tenant configuration baseline and policy design (Conditional Access, step-up rules, exceptions)
  • Application onboarding and federation configuration (SAML/OIDC, session controls, logout considerations)
  • Identity governance setup where needed (lifecycle workflows, access packages, access reviews)
  • Operational readiness: logging, monitoring, runbooks, and continuous improvement
