Anvil Connect

We're building a modern authorization server to authenticate your users and protect your APIs.

Simplified Security

• Share user accounts between multiple apps and services with Single Sign-On (shared sessions)
• Issue signed JSON Web Tokens to protect your APIs
• Be a federated identity provider with OpenID Connect
• Enable third-party developers using two- and three-legged OAuth 2.0

Flexible User Authentication

• Use local passwords, OAuth 1.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID, SAML 2.0, LDAP, Active Directory, and more
• Works out of the box with Google, Facebook, Twitter, GitHub, and a growing list of providers
• Custom schemes using virtually any existing Passport.js strategy or your own code

Make it yours

• Brand the interface with your own design
• Use middleware hooks for domain specific implementations
• Keep your changes under version control without forking

Standard, Interoperable, and Open Source

• Language and platform agnostic
• Implements widely accepted, well-understood protocols
• MIT license
