Summary

authentik is an open source Identity Provider that unifies identity needs into a single platform, replacing Okta, Active Directory, and auth0. The latest release of 2024.2 introduces several new features, including Remote Access Control, which allows remote connection to other machines over RDP, SSH, and VNC through authentik. A new App Wizard has also been added, making it easier for users to create new applications and providers. Audit logging now includes field-level changes, and sessions can be bound to specific geolocation or network locations. Breaking changes have been made, including the renaming of tenants to brands and updates to Helm charts for Kubernetes deployment. The release also includes enhancements to user management, event volume tracking, and system task monitoring. Overall, the 2024.2 release aims to improve security, usability, and customization options for authentik users.
