European identity and access management (iam) services

Single sign-on run under European jurisdiction

Replaces: Auth0 · Okta

An identity and access management service holds your user accounts and decides what each of them may reach. Its main job in practice is single sign-on: one login gives a person access to many applications, through a redirect to a central login page that returns a signed token. Standards such as OAuth, OpenID Connect and SAML make that work across products from different vendors.

An IAM system holds names, email addresses, group memberships and a full record of who logged in from where, which is about as sensitive as an internal directory gets. ZITADEL, cidaas and Keycloak are European entries, and some can be self hosted. Standards based protocols are what make a European alternative for single sign-on practical: your applications keep working if you change provider.

Our pick

Cloud IAM

Managed Keycloak hosting from France

Cloud IAM is an identity and access management service from France that runs Keycloak for you. Keycloak is the open source OAuth server backed by Red Hat, and because the software is widely used and your data can be exported, the risk of vendor lock-in stays small.

Self-hosted and open source

Open source projects you can run yourself. Not necessarily made in Europe, but nobody else holds your data.
