Ory Polis (formerly BoxyHQ Jackson) is an open-source Enterprise SSO service that bridges SAML and OpenID Connect login flows to OAuth 2.0/OIDC, abstracting SAML complexity. It also supports Directory Sync via SCIM 2.0 for automatic user and group provisioning and de-provisioning.
Use cases
- add SAML single sign-on to my web app
- bridge SAML identity providers to OAuth2 or OIDC
- automatically provision and de-provision users with SCIM directory sync
- support enterprise SSO for B2B customers
- add OpenID Connect login to my application
- self-host an SSO service for multi-tenant SaaS
When to choose
- you need enterprise SSO (SAML/OIDC) in a SaaS product without implementing SAML yourself
- you want SCIM 2.0 directory sync for automated user lifecycle management
- you prefer self-hosting an open-source identity broker under Apache-2.0
When to avoid
- you only need simple social login or email/password auth
- you want a fully managed IAM suite with login UI, MFA, and permissions out of the box
- your stack cannot run Node.js services
