Welcome to the Authentication and User Management Service!

The Agglestone Authentication and User Management Service is your one-stop solution for handling authentication and authorization in your applications. Built on industry-standard OAuth2 and OpenID Connect protocols, it provides everything you need to secure your applications. Whether you’re building a new product from scratch or integrating authentication into an existing system, we’ve got you covered.

What Is This Service?

The Agglestone Authentication and User Management Service is a comprehensive, standards-based authentication platform built on OAuth2 and OpenID Connect. It provides everything you need to secure your applications and manage your users. It’s designed to be flexible enough to work with any application architecture — from single-page applications to mobile apps to backend services.

Who Is It For?

The Agglestone Authentication and User Management Service isn’t just for use with Agglestone’s API Suite. It is built to be your authentication and user management solution, that can be integrated into your own applications, to provide authentication and access management to your own APIs, frontend and backend services, as well as Agglestone’s API Suite. It is designed to remove the complexities and risks of building it yourself. Allowing the team to move faster and securely.

Perfect For:

  • Tech Leadership looking to reduce security risk and accelerate development with a standards-based authentication solution
  • Software Developers integrating OAuth2 and OpenID Connect authentication into web applications, mobile apps, or APIs
  • Product Teams who need user management without becoming security experts
  • Organizations looking for a scalable, secure authentication solution built on industry standards
  • Anyone who wants to focus on building great products instead of managing authentication infrastructure

What Can You Do With It?

Secure Your Applications

Protect your applications with industry-standard OAuth2 and OpenID Connect flows. Your users get a secure, seamless login experience, and you get peace of mind knowing authentication is handled by experts.

Manage Your Users

Create, update, and organize users with powerful management APIs. Set up groups for access control, manage user permissions, and keep track of everything through comprehensive APIs.

Customize the Experience

Make authentication feel like part of your brand. Customize login pages, password reset flows, and MFA setup screens to match your application’s look and feel.

Control Security Policies

Configure password requirements, MFA settings, token expiration, and security policies that match your organization’s needs. You’re in control of how secure you want to be.

Standards-Based and Developer-Friendly

We believe in using industry standards because they make your life easier. Built on OAuth2 and OpenID Connect, the Agglestone Authentication and User Management Service implements:

  • OAuth2 (RFC 6749) for authorization flows
  • OpenID Connect for identity layer on top of OAuth2
  • OpenID Connect Discovery so you can use standard client libraries
  • JWTs (RFC 7519) for secure, verifiable tokens
  • PKCE (RFC 7636) for enhanced security in public clients

This means you can use your favorite OAuth2/OIDC client libraries—like oidc-client-ts@^3.4.1 for TypeScript/JavaScript applications—and they’ll work out of the box. No custom integrations needed!

Multi-Tenant Architecture

Your tenant is completely isolated. Your users, your settings, your security policies — all separate from other tenants. This means you get enterprise-grade multi-tenancy without any of the complexity.
