Lightwave - Opensource vSphere's core IDM solution with native tools support

Lightwave is VMware's initiative to opensource the identity and access management stack which forms the core of VMware's flagship vSphere product.

The stack consists of a state of art enterprise grade solution that includes:

• Directory - a multi-tenant store to hold the users, groups and various configuration objects
• Certificate Authority - directory integrated certificate authority
• Authentication Framework
• Secure Token Service (STS) - support for Open ID Connect, SAML and bunch of other authentication providers
• Single Sign On Services - REST based API for registering service providers, identity providers and integrating with external identity stores such as Active Directory and Open LDAP
• Native Mac and Windows UI tools to administer each of the components

Lightwave can be hosted on VMware's cool Photon OS (that boasts of less than 20s reboot) or using a Docker container.
