Authelia is an open-source access and authentication layer. It sits in front of your applications and reverse proxies. Teams use it to protect web apps with strong policies. It supports SSO workflows and modern identity integrations. You can deploy it self-hosted with full control over data.
Authelia integrates with LDAP, OAuth providers, and identity systems. It can forward logins through SAML and OIDC compatible setups. Enable MFA, safe sessions, and step-up authentication when needed. Use access control rules per user group, application, or route. Support for invitations, recovery, and user lifecycle automation is available.
Because it is policy-driven, authorization stays consistent. You get audit information that helps security teams investigate events. Strong rate limiting and brute-force protections reduce risk. Session management improves usability without sacrificing safety. You can tune settings for your threat model and compliance needs.
