OpenIG

OpenIG is an independent policy enforcement point that reduces the proliferation of passwords and ensures consistent, secure access across multiple web apps and APIs. OpenIG can leverage any standards-compliant identity provider to integrate into your current architecture. Single sign-on and sign-off improves the user experience and will vastly improve adoption rates and consumption of services provided.
  • Extend SSO to any Application
  • Federate Enabling Applications
  • Implement Standards Based Policy Enforcement

Heritage

ForgeRock have been developing and commercially supporting OpenIG since its birth in 2011. This version was originally released to ForgeRock customers in March 2012, and is now being released as our Community Edition with CDDL binary licensing which enables the downloadable binaries to be use din production.

How it Works

OpenIG is essentially a Java-based reverse proxy which runs as a web application. All HTTP traffic to each protected application is routed through OpenIG, enabling close inspection, transformation and filtering of each request. You can create new filters and handlers to modify the HTTP requests on their way through OpenIG, providing the ability to recognize login pages, submit login forms, transform or filter content, and even function as a Federation endpoint for the application. All these features are possible without making any changes to the application's deployment container or the application itself.
