Directory Services

Fuel Digital Transformation with Massive Scale and High Availability

Let’s be frank. Your identity platform is only as good as its foundation. “Identity done right” gets done wrong without a rock-solid directory to store and access all that identity data.

Born from our telco heritage, ForgeRock Directory Services is the gold standard and was designed from the beginning for massive scale. A high-performance, high availability, web-scale directory that delivers throughput in the tens-of-thousands of logins per second to fuel organizations, like yours, with the power needed for today – and tomorrow’s – digital transformation.

Prevent Data Breaches: Making Sure The Algorithms Work

Aug. 12, 2019 By Nach Mishra

An identity platform like ForgeRock is the backbone of an enterprise, with a view of all apps, identities, devices, and resources attempting to connect with each other.

The ForgeRock Identity and Access Management Platform can be deployed in many different cloud services like AWS, Google, Azure, and even in Alibaba Cloud very recently by a partner. Being able to support a cloud deployment model is one thing, but keeping up with the changes in the cloud at the pace they are happening is where ForgeRock excels.

What is a DLT?

There is a new IETF draft stream called JSON Web Token (JWT) Profile for OAuth 2.0 Access Tokens. This is a very early 0 version, that looks to describe the format of OAuth2 issued access_tokens. Access tokens, are typically bearer tokens, but the OAuth2 spec, doesn’t really describe what format they should be. They typically end up being two high level […]

2 months ago

Two weeks ago, at the ForgeRock Identity Live conference, I did a talk about ForgeRock Directory Services (DS) in the Docker/Kubernetes (K8S) world, trying to answer the question whether DS and Docker/K8S were friends or foes.
