heyyyyyy In case you missed it, I got to chat with @fheisler about the cool stuff he's been cooking up with @authentikio ! And I met Fletcher at BsidesSF -- really awesome guy 🤩😊 Video: youtu.be/2ttrqnw5kDE
I've actually used authentik to manage identities in a self-hosted local environment before, so was really happy to hang out and see it even more in action. Thanks Fletcher!! 😄See their sweet stuff: jh.live/authentik
authentik 2026.8 is here!
From native PAM and agent accounts (yes, for your AI agents too) to scheduled offboarding and officially becoming OpenID Certified™, this one is packed.
Catch the highlights below and dive into the full post: goauthentik.io/blog/2026-09-…
ALT authentik Release 2026.8 • Privileged access management: Users can request access to applications or specific application entitlements. Designated approvers can approve or deny requests and set when access expires • Agent accounts: Service accounts that act on behalf of a parent user, enabling automation and integrations while preserving delegated access and auditability • User switching: Users can keep multiple accounts signed in within the same browser and switch between them from the User interface. • User offboarding:Schedule users for deactivation or deletion, with optional session and token revocation. • Object attributes: Define custom fields for users, groups, application entitlements, and other objects, with validation built into the Admin interface and API • Self-hosted event maps: Use the new bundled event map without external requests, or configure a self-hosted map for each brand. • OAuth 2.0 and OpenlD Connect improvements: added support for on-behalf-of OBO & DCR

Here are some takes from the recent round of security conferences in San Francisco:
IAM is fragmented, AI demos ≠ AI deliverables, and it's wild just how broad the security world really is.

In our 2025.10 release, we removed Redis as a required database. Read more about why we made that decision, why we wanted Redis in the first place, and how we went about removing Redis and instead relying fully on PostgreSQL.

Keeping up our reputation as an IdP with one of the broadest coverage of protocols, in the 2025.10 release we add a ton more: SCIM authentication via OAuth token, EAP-TLS authentication, plus Single Logout (SLO) supported in both SAML and OAuth2/OIDC.
goauthentik.io/blog/2025-10-…
In 2025.10, authentik supports Single Logout (SLO), with SAML single logout & OpenID Connect (OIDC) front-channel logout and back-channel logout.
No more forgotten sessions left wide open because a user didn't remember to log out of all apps.
