Introduction

Today it's becoming increasingly important to create secure and seamless experiences for users across multiple applications, protecting an application with Monokee provides a range of benefits for organizations, including:

  • Enhanced Security: Monokee provides a centralized system for managing access control and identity verification, reducing the complexity and risks associated with managing user authentication and authorization. It provides robust security features such as Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and adaptive authentication, which help organizations enforce stronger security policies and protect against unauthorized access.

  • Streamlined Access Management: By centralizing access control and identity verification, Monokee eliminates the need for each application to handle its own authentication and authorization. This centralization streamlines access management, reducing the administrative burden and enabling organizations to manage access to multiple applications more efficiently.

  • Simplified User Experience: Monokee provides Single Sign-On (SSO) capability, which means that users can access multiple applications with a single set of credentials. This streamlined user experience reduces the need for users to remember multiple usernames and passwords, improving productivity and reducing the risk of password-related issues.

  • Customizable Access Control: Monokee provides customizable access control policies, enabling organizations to enforce granular access control based on user roles and permissions for each application. This flexibility allows organizations to manage access to sensitive resources more effectively, reducing the risk of unauthorized access.

  • Improved Compliance: Monokee provides audit logs and reporting capabilities, enabling organizations to monitor and track access to applications and resources. This monitoring and tracking help organizations comply with regulatory requirements and audit trails, reducing the risk of non-compliance.

To allows to get these benefits Monokee offers a wide set of features that enable the creation of various types of applications to suit different use cases. Specifically, it allows to integrate fourth distinct types of applications:

  • SAML 2.0: use SAML 2.0 to enable federation and SSO between a Service Provider (SP) and one of the Identity Provider (IDP) defined in your Monokee domain.
  • OAuth 2.0: use OAuth 2.0 to enable authorization management a Client and one of the Authorization Provider defined in your Monokee domain.
  • OpenID Connect: Use OpenID Connect to integrate a Relying Party (RP) and one of the OpenID Provider (OP) defined in your Monokee domain.
  • Express: Use Monokee's proprietary technology, known as Express, to facilitate Single Sign-On (SSO) and automate authentication for an application that you do not have the ability to configure or modify, or that you do not own.
