Janssen is a self-funded project chartered directly under the Linux Foundation to foster the development of enterprise digital identity and access management infrastructure. As the lead Contributors, the Gluu team drives the priorities on a day-to-day basis, governed and guided by the Janssen community Technical Steering Commitee.
There are several Janssen Components in different stages of development, from demos to stable releases. Janssen Project software has batteries included. You will find binaries, cloud native deployment assets, documentation and more-- enabling you to build a product or mission critical cybersecurity service with Janssen software.
If your enteprise needs Janssen for a production deployment, Gluu offers a commercial distribution of Janssen Project Components called Gluu Flex and hosting.

| Component | Description | Lifecycle Stage |
|---|---|---|
| Jans Auth Server | A very complete Java OAuth Authorization Server and a certified OpenID Connect Provider. It's the upstream open-source core of Gluu Flex. |  |
| Agama | Agama offers an interoperable way to design authentication flows, coded in a DSL purpose-built for writing identity journeys. | |
| Jans FIDO | Enables end-users to enroll and authenticate with passkeys and other FIDO authenticators. | |
| Jans SCIM | SCIM JSON/REST API for user management, including associated FIDO devices. | |
| Jans Config API | RESTful control plane for all Janssen components. | |
| Text UI ("TUI") | Command line and interactive configuration tools to help you correctly call the Config API. | |
| Jans Casa | Jans Casa is a self-service web portal for end-users to manage authentication and authorization preferences for their account in the Janssen Server | |
| Jans KC | provides an array of out of the box IAM services in a single lightweight container image. It's handy for many workforce requirements like SAML. The Janssen authenticator module (SPI) simplifies SSO across Janssen and Keycloak websites. |  |
| Jans LDAP Link | a group of components that provide synchronization services to update the Janssen User Store from an external authoritative LDAP data sources | |
| Jans Keycloak Link | a group of components that provide synchronization services to update the Janssen User Store from an external authoritative Keycloak data sources | |
| Jans Cedarling | Cedarling binding for Python and WASM. In simple terms, the Cedarling returns the answer: should the application allow this action on this resource given these JWT tokens.. | |
| Jans Lock | An enterprise authorization solution featuring the Cedarling, a stateless PDP and the Lock Server which centralizes audit logs and configuration. | |
| Jans Tarp | An OpenID Connect RP test website that runs as a browser plugin in Chrome or Firefox. | |
| Jans Chip | Sample iOS and Android mobile applications that implement the full OAuth and FIDO security stack for app integrity, client constrained access tokens, and user presence. |  |
| Jans Tent | A test Relying Party ("RP") built using Python and Flask. Enables you to send different requests by quickly modifying just one configuration file. | |
You can install the Janssen federation stack in a Kubernetes cluster or as a single VM. Check out the Janssen Documentation for details.

Janssen is a self-funded Linux Foundation project, governed according to the charter. Technical oversight of the project is the responsibility of the Technical Steering Committee ("TSC"). Day-to-day decision-making is in the hands of the Contributors. The TSC helps to guide the direction of the project and to improve the quality and security of the development process.
If you find a bug in the Janssen project, would like to suggest a new feature, or have a "howto" question, please post on GitHub Discussions, which is the main channel for community support. There is also a community chat on Gitter.

In 2020, Gluu decided to give contributors a role in the governance and collaborated with the Linux Foundation to charter the Janssen Project. The initial software contribution for the Janssen Project was a fork of the Gluu Server version 4. Subsequently, the Janssen Project developers added a new configuration control plane, tools, demos, documentation, packaging and deployment assets.
Pigeons (or doves...) are universally regarded as a symbol of peace--which we need more of today. But pigeons are also really fast, capable of flying 1000 kilometers in a single day, powered by a handful of seeds. The Janssen brothers of Arendonk in Belgium bred the world's fastest family of racing pigeons. Janssen racing pigeons revolutionized the sport. The Janssen Project seeks to revolutionize how open-source digital identity scales in the clouds.
