Rauthy is a lightweight and easy to use Identity Provider supporting OpenID Connect, OAuth 2, and PAM. It aims to be simple to both set up and operate, with very secure defaults and lots of config options, if you need the flexibility. It puts heavy emphasis on Passkeys and a very strong security in general. The project is written in Rust to be as memory efficient, secure, and fast as possible, and it can run on basically any hardware.
