Setting Up a Private Self-Hosted OIDC Provider on AWS for Enhanced Authentication
Setting Up a Private Self-Hosted OIDC Provider on AWS for Enhanced Authentication
In today’s digital landscape, securing access to cloud resources is paramount. This blog post delves into setting up a private self-hosted OpenID Connect (OIDC) provider on AWS, offering a robust solution for applications requiring secure authentication. Whether you’re managing internal tools, CI/CD pipelines, or IoT devices, this approach provides a scalable and secure authentication mechanism.
Introduction to OIDC and AWS Integration OIDC, an extension of OAuth 2.0, enables secure authentication by issuing tokens that can be used to access resources. By hosting your own OIDC provider on AWS, you gain control over the authentication process, ensuring it aligns with your security policies. This setup is particularly beneficial for applications using AWS Lambda or API Gateway, as it allows seamless integration with AWS services.

Designing a Distributed Authorization Server Architecture
In the modern era of cloud-native applications and microservices architectures, the need for scalable, secure, and efficient authorization systems has never been greater. An Authorization Server (AS) plays a critical role in enforcing access control policies, issuing tokens, and managing user sessions. However, as the scale of applications grows, the traditional monolithic approach to building an Authorization Server becomes a bottleneck. This is where a distributed architecture comes into play, enabling high availability, scalability, and fault tolerance.

Testing SAML and OIDC Authorization Flows with Postman
OAuth 2.0 and SAML are two of the most widely used protocols for authentication and authorization in modern web applications. While OAuth 2.0 is often associated with OIDC (OpenID Connect), SAML remains a popular choice for enterprise environments. Whether you’re building a new application or maintaining an existing one, testing the authorization flows for these protocols is crucial to ensure security and functionality.
In this blog post, we’ll explore how to use Postman, a powerful API testing tool, to test both SAML and OIDC authorization flows. We’ll cover the key concepts, step-by-step guides, and best practices to help you effectively validate your authorization processes.

User Risk Scoring and Behavioral Analytics in CIAM
Introduction In the realm of modern identity management, Customer Identity and Access Management (CIAM) solutions play a pivotal role in securing user interactions while delivering seamless digital experiences. One of the most critical aspects of CIAM is the ability to detect and mitigate risks associated with user behavior. This is where user risk scoring and behavioral analytics come into play.
User risk scoring involves assigning a numerical value to a user based on their behavior patterns, device information, and other contextual factors. Behavioral analytics, on the other hand, focuses on analyzing user actions to identify anomalies that may indicate fraudulent or malicious intent. Together, these techniques enable organizations to proactively detect and respond to potential threats, ensuring a secure and trustworthy environment for users.
