WorkflowGen 7.11.0

Now with OpenID Connect-based authentication

WorkflowGen 7.11.0 introduces three new authentication modes based on the API-friendly OpenID Connect (OIDC) standard, which gives users a unified single-sign-on experience across different web applications and platforms while also providing enhanced security. From the OIDC website:

OpenID Connect 1.0 is a simple identity layer on top of the OAuth 2.0 protocol. It allows Clients to verify the identity of the End-User based on the authentication performed by an Authorization Server, as well as to obtain basic profile information about the End-User in an interoperable and REST-like manner.

OpenID Connect allows clients of all types, including Web-based, mobile, and JavaScript clients, to request and receive information about authenticated sessions and end-users. The specification suite is extensible, allowing participants to use optional features such as encryption of identity data, discovery of OpenID Providers, and session management, when it makes sense for them.

WorkflowGen’s three new OIDC-based authentication modes are:

• Azure Active Directory, “Microsoft’s multi-tenant, cloud-based directory, and identity management service that combines core directory services, application access management, and identity protection into a single solution.”
• Auth0, “a universal authentication and authorization platform for web, mobile, and legacy applications.”
• Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS), “a standards-based service that allows the secure sharing of identity information between trusted business partners (known as a federation) across an extranet.”

The WorkflowGen Technical Guide provides complete instructions on setting up and configuring each of these modes.

As well, the WorkflowGen GraphQL API has been updated to version 1.0.0-beta.5 and webhooks to version 3.2.0; both feature performance improvements for servers using multiple virtual CPU cores, plus other enhancements including new parameters to set the default request body size limit.
