Introducing Identity Community Version: Free, Open, and Fully in Your Control

Identity Community Version gives you those keys. It’s an open, no-cost version of a proven identity management platform. It lets you handle authentication, authorization, and user directory integration without heavy licensing fees or closed systems. You get control over every step—from sign-up flows to role-based access—plus the flexibility to connect with your stack.

With Identity Community Version, you can test and deploy identity features in real environments without signing contracts or committing budget. It supports standard protocols like OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and SAML, letting you integrate faster with apps, APIs, and internal tools. You manage your own instances, so you decide on scaling, uptime, and where your data lives.

Security is baked in with best-practice hashing, encryption, and MFA support. Developers can extend it with plugins or custom code. Teams can run it in Docker, on-prem, or in the cloud of their choice. It’s stable enough for production workloads but open enough for experimentation.

The real power comes from owning your identity layer. No vendor lock-in. No artificial limits. Only the freedom to build and deliver features the way you want them, at the speed you choose.

You can spend weeks setting this up yourself—or you can see it running live in minutes on hoop.dev.
