Cloud Foundry's User Account and Authentication (UAA) server, a multi-tenant identity management service that acts as an OAuth2 provider and OpenID Connect-certified identity server. It issues tokens, manages user accounts and OAuth2 clients, and can serve as an SSO service, either within Cloud Foundry or standalone.

Use cases

• run a standalone oauth2 authorization server
• add single sign-on to my applications
• issue and validate access tokens for microservices
• manage user accounts with SCIM provisioning
• integrate LDAP authentication with an identity provider
• get an openid connect certified identity server
• act as an oidc proxy in front of other identity providers

When to choose

• you need a battle-tested, OpenID-certified OAuth2/OIDC server
• you are deploying Cloud Foundry or need CF-compatible identity management
• you need multi-tenancy, SCIM user provisioning, or LDAP integration out of the box

When to avoid

• you want a lightweight embedded auth library rather than a separate server
• your stack is not JVM-based and you cannot operate a Java/Tomcat service
• you need full OpenID Connect feature coverage beyond UAA's partial OIDC support
