identity management

What is Identity Management?

Identity Management allows you to comprehensively and securely manage the complete identity lifecycle of people and services across all kinds of devices. Whether at home or work, on mobile or in the car, identity management lets you be you.

As the combined number of people, devices, services, and things continues to grow by the billions, the need for a identity management has become a must-have tool for winning and protecting customers. From digital identity to device registration, provisioning, synchronization, reconciliation, and more, your users and customers are safe as they move between devices and services. When your customers feel safe engaging with your products and services, and your critical assets are safe from harm, everyone wins.

API Security: Awareness and Moderation are Key

Mar. 11, 2019 By Joachim Andres

A Buddhist approach towards addressing the uncertainty of API Security

2500 years ago, light was shed on the philosophy of moderation. It was the key to health and happiness as taught in Buddhism. Similarly, this approach also applies to our reckless world of technology. Take the API economy, for example. Organizations utilize and depend on APIs to create new revenue streams and monetize their core business.

We started a journey last December with the release of the ForgeRock Identity Platform 6.5, which helps customers transition millions of users from on-premises to cloud-hosted services in minutes. Today ForgeRock is excited to announce this next phase, an identity solution delivered natively in the cloud.

Happy Data Privacy Day!

People’s Personal Data Needs and Desires Are (Surprise!) Personal

I finally did it – moved from a tiny condo to a huge house. And now I have smart home use cases that I resisted mightily before, being what researcher Alan Westin called a “privacy fundamentalist”, a strong believer in privacy and personal data protection.

Dust off that PC . . . and that authentication?

This past weekend, my buddies in Europe organized a night of online gaming. It had been over a year since I last played with them. Did I stop to worry about authentication? Heck no. I fired up my dusty PC and launched a leading distribution platform for PC gaming.

In ForgeRock Directory Services 6.5, we’ve added the support for the LDAP Relax Rules Control, both on the server and our clients. One of my colleagues, involved with the customers’ deployment, asked me why we’ve added the control and what it should be used for. The LDAP Relax Rules Control is an LDAP extension that allows a directory user agent […]

Explaining index-entry-limit in ForgeRock Directory Services / OpenDJ

2 months 2 weeks ago

A few years ago, I’ve explained the various resource limits in OpenDJ, the open source LDAP and REST directory server. A few months ago, someone read the post and asked on twitter about the index-entry-limit: The index-entry-limit is probably the least understood parameter in the OpenDJ directory server, as was the AllIDThreshold in Sun Directory Server (and its siblings : […]

Better index troubleshooting with ForgeRock DS / OpenDJ

2 months 3 weeks ago

Many years ago, I wrote about troubleshooting indexes and search performances, explaining the magic “debugSearchIndex” operational attribute, that allows an administrator to get from the server information about the processing of indexes for a specific search query. The returned value provides insights on the indexes that were used for a particular search, how they were used and how the resulting […]

Kubernetes Process Namespace sharing and the JDK

2 months 4 weeks ago

Kubernetes 1.12 introduced process namespace sharing, which is the ability for containers in a pod to share the same process namespace. One of the neat things that you can do with this feature is to split your containers up into slim runtime containers, and optional debug containers that have all the tools required for troubleshooting. For Java applications we want […]

The ForgeRock Identity Platform was released and publicly announced early December this year (also here). As you may guess from the announcement, an important part of the new features has to do with DevOps, running in Docker, automated with Kubernetes.
