hsluoyzon Permission Systems for Enterprise That Scale

Worth mentioning Casbin as well (https://github.com/casbin/casbin) - it's been around for a while and takes a slightly different approach. Instead of being purely Zanzibar-inspired, it uses a PERM (Policy, Effect, Request, Matchers) metamodel that lets you implement RBAC, ABAC, or ReBAC depending on what fits your use case.

hsluoyzon Keycloak open redirect: wildcard redirect URIs can be exploited to steal tokens

I'm using Casdoor: https://github.com/casbin/casdoor and glad to see it only has ~77,000 LOC according to the shared link.

Keycloak was good but has too much legacy for 10+ years. Casdoor is pretty new and has become a good replacement for Keycloak for me with more functionalities.

hsluoyzon Keycloak – Open-source identity and access management interview

The fact is a "true" fact, I'm not saying something which is wrong. This is all I care about. I don't need to know why. I'm not an expert on programming languages or look into compiler source code either. If you think the "fact" is not true, plz just give your opinions and evidences.

SSO doesn't need SEO. So SPA is OK. The good point is RESTful API is fully exposed without any extra dev work.

I's a fact that I also don't know why, maybe not mainly because of GC. Java's high concurrency is not impossible but just requires more efforts to tune the performance

hsluoyzon Ask HN: How to implement ABAC authorization for enterprise applications?

I'm Casbin author. XACML is nearly 20 years old and it was a very classic ABAC implementation in the world. I used, learnt and studied it through my master and Ph.D career in the last ten years. That's part of the reason why I created Casbin 3 years ago during my Ph.D. I hope Casbin is some kind of improvement compared to XACML. XACML has been stable these years but Casbin is yound and still growing, so we can fix things that are not that good compared to XACML. Authzforce is under GPL-3, which needs to handle carefully for commercial use. Casbin is Apache 2.0. If you want to follow more famous standard, choose XACML. Otherwise choose Casbin.
