Identity Provider
An authentication and authorization service for applications that need centralized identity management.
Problem
Applications often duplicate login, token handling, and role checks across services. A dedicated identity service helps keep those concerns consistent.
Currently implemented
- Authentication model and token strategy
- Role-based access control design
- Tenant-aware service structure
Technical approach
- Keep identity concerns separate from product services so authentication and authorization rules stay consistent.
- Use Spring Security and JWT-based flows to handle login, token issuance, and protected APIs.
- Model tenants, roles, and clients explicitly so the system can grow without spreading auth logic across multiple applications.
Technology stack
Next steps
- OAuth2 and OpenID Connect improvements
- Multi-tenant support expansion
- Identity federation
- Admin console
- Audit logging
- Deployment hardening
