Open Source Identity Management Software

Identity Management Software is an enterprise software. It is considered as one of “top of the food-chain” software. Our industry is still in the -you’re-not-going-get-fired-when-you-buy-*name your big vendor here*- paradigm, when it comes to Identity Management software.

We maintain and publish open source identity management software map. The goal of this map is to give a quick snapshot of the current state of Identity Management software from an open source perspective.

Is it possible to build an open source Identity Management software stack that is analogous to LAMP (Linux/Apache/MySQL/PHP) stack? The question is not whether open source identity management stack will happen, but just when the technology will reach critical mass. We believe this will happen sooner than later. Our prediction is that many of the initiatives on our IdM map will have a massive adoption in the next two years.

P.S: We will do our best to “separate the wheat from the chaf” in our next version of the identity map based on the popularity/project adoption rate.
