šŸ” Alfresco Authentication & SSO Integration: LDAP, SAML & Keycloak

Enterprise Alfresco environments often need more than basic username/password authentication.

In my latest technical guide, I explore how Alfresco Content Services can fit into an enterprise identity and SSO architecture using:

• LDAP / Active Directory
• SAML-based authentication
• Keycloak
• Single Sign-On (SSO)
• Enterprise Identity & Access Management
• Authentication flow and integration considerations

The article also looks at when LDAP authentication is sufficient and when an Identity Provider and SSO architecture becomes a better fit.

If you're working with Alfresco administration, architecture, upgrades or enterprise integrations, this should provide a useful starting point.

I’d be interested to hear what authentication architecture you're using with Alfresco — LDAP/AD, SAML, Keycloak or another IdP?
