What's Good

MPL-2.0. Self-host IdP at $0. WebAuthn, OAuth2/OIDC, LDAP, RADIUS, SSH. Written in Rust. Docs and first-party tooling at kanidm.com.

The Catch

Rust IdP aiming to replace needing Keycloak — not the Java CNCF suite. Distinct from Keycloak (Apache-2.0 JVM IAM). You still operate the box.

Verdict

MPL-2.0 Rust IdP. Self-host free. Not Keycloak.
