Self-Hosted Software: Best Practices for Secure and Reliable Deployment

Many organizations power business operations with self-hosted software. Self-hosted or on-premise software runs on a server owned by you or your organization, whereas a software-as-a-service (SaaS) provider manages deployed software using cloud services. The responsibility to install and maintain self-hosted software lies with the user.

GraphQL Authorization with Konnect, OPA and OIDC

🚀 Join us live to learn about how to implement authentication and authorization for GraphQL APIs using OIDC and OPA with Konnect! 🤝 This tutorial focuses on the solution that can solve for the Authentication and Authorization concerns at the gateway layer. We'll first authenticate users, and if authenticated, then the user’s fine-grain permissions will be evaluated to determine if the user has permission to run the incoming GraphQL request (whether the request is nested or using query variables).

Smart Assertions Overview

The Smart Assertion checks both the message content and the metadata such as headers, status codes, and parameters in accordance with the predefined set of rules. Note: The Smart Assertion supersedes the Message Content, Valid HTTP Status Codes, Invalid HTTP Status Codes, HTTP Header Equals, and HTTP Header Exists assertions. They are also easier to setup and configure. The assertions will continue to be available, but we recommend transitioning to Smart Assertions.

Recently, we have seen a real desire from organisations to move beyond delivering the traditional CIAM requirements focused only on security to delivering a richer, more personalised experience for customers, across multiple touch points. In fact, 67% of the 200 UK and Ireland respondents who took part in a WSO2 and Vanson Bourne research study last year said they are utilising a CIAM platform. With this context in mind, it is a promising sign, therefore, that we have seen many existing and prospective CIAM customers seeing a fairly rapid evolution in maturity over the last year at WSO2.
