Easiest to set up IAM solution? (OIDC, OAuth2, SSO, etc.) (feddit.org)

I've just looked at some tutorials for Keycloak and Authentik and there's definitely a very steep learning curve for these two solutions. I feel like I need something a lot simpler to be able to fully grasp the concept.

What is the easiest solution for beginners to implement Sigle-Sign-On for their selfhosted services?

Oidc is easier to implement than SAML. Oauth2 is for authorization (vs authentication). Its used along with Oidc, but Oidc is the authentication piece (the SSO part)

I say Oidc is easier to implement because it is json based (jwt token) vs SAML which uses XML, which is very verbose and has stuff like namespaces and xsd’s which can make XML a pain to work with.

I’d suggest you stick to keycloak and set up Oidc. This is a good tutorial https://medium.com/@buffetbenjamin/keycloak-essentials-openid-connect-c7fa87d3129d

Edit: take a look at authentik too. I’ve always used keycloak but authentik looks interesting
