Refreshing Look and Feel for the Console UI
The console has received a major upgrade with our brand-new, lightning-fast Oxygen UI! The beta console UI, accessible via https://:/console, introduced in version 5.11.0, is now available for production usage for administrative and developer tasks.
With this upgrade, concepts such as service providers, identity providers, inbound/outbound authentication, previously utilized in the Carbon-based management console, have evolved into 'applications' and 'connections', respectively. WSO2 Identity Server 7.0.0 introduces application templates for Single Page Applications (SPAs), web applications with server-side rendering, mobile applications, and machine-to-machine (M2M) applications. It also offers a variety of authentication options, including social login, multi-factor authentication (MFA), passwordless authentication, etc., which can be selected from the available connections.
Productized Support for B2B CIAM Use Cases
WSO2 Identity Server now enables secure access for your B2B business customers with flexible organization management capabilities. B2B CIAM is the identity foundation that helps organizations that work with business customers, franchises, distributors and suppliers get their apps and services to market quickly and securely.
Key Highlights:
Onboard enterprise IDP, or invite users to register at organizations
Configure varied login options for organizations
Hierarchical organization management
Delegated administration

Resolve organization at login as the user inputs the organization name, based on the user’s email domain mapped for a particular organization or based on a query or path parameter in the URL
Authentication API for App-Native Authentication
This release introduces an API-based authentication capability, allowing developers to implement complete authentication workflows within their applications, focusing on enhanced user experience.
Key Highlights:
A flexible API containing all necessary details to render UIs inside the application itself
Support for handling authentication orchestration logic at the WSO2 Identity Server without taking that overhead to the application (e.g: Based on the device the user logs in to the app, prompt the second factor)

Ensures identity and proof of possession of the client in handling authentication credentials
