Mar 1, 2026March 2026 (2026-03) monthly summary for goauthentik/authentik. Key achievements include delivering WS-Federation authentication enhancements integrated into the application wizard with conditional signing of assertions based on provider signing key presence, releasing documentation updates for device access groups, SCIM filtering naming, and authentication workflows, and fixing SAML SLO redirect logic to prioritize plan context URLs over RelayState. These changes improve security, reduce onboarding friction, and increase reliability across authentication and SCIM workflows. Technologies demonstrated include WS-Federation, SAML, SCIM, web/app wizard integration, and strong documentation and test coverage.

Nov 1, 2025November 2025 highlights for goauthentik/authentik: key features delivered include certificate management enhancements with key-type filtering in API/UI and dynamic certificate discovery via a file watcher; and SAML provider UI improvements that relocate SP binding controls and establish default values for better usability. Major fixes include SCIM/OAuth provider reliability improvements (fixing logging errors and ensuring proper deletion of SCIM providers when OAuth tokens change) and Build/CI stability improvements for macOS/Homebrew Kerberos tests. Overall impact: reduced deployment risk and admin friction, improved federation reliability, and more robust cross-platform CI. Technologies demonstrated: API/UI integration, file watcher-based discovery, SAML/SCIM/OAuth workflows, front-end UX enhancements, and Makefile/CI tuning for macOS Homebrew environments.
