Context:
I'm researching about how to easily implement SSO for an enterprise on-premise Service Provider to enable SAML and OIDC both. I came across multi-provider wrappers but I wasn't able to find python(tornado) specific ones.
Research:
The only active one I found is this but as it’s mostly for social and looks like it doesn’t support saml.
This link mentions some client based python wrappers like sanction, rauth but both doesn't support SAML
Apart from wrappers I also looked at dev tools provided by oneLogin for SAML protocol.

Python SAML OneLogin - How to support multiple Identity Providers
Questions:
which are the multi-provider authentication wrapper for python enterprise apps?
Are there other options apart from the ones mentioned above to ease the SP development?
Could I potentially use a wrapper like python-social-auth for OIDC support and OneLogin devtool for SAML support?
I'm a Product manager and not a dev. I have been researching a lot but to no avail.
python-social-auth supports SAML and OIDC. It supports multi-tenancy as well (overriding the default strategy).
I recommend you to use it rather than trying to implement them yourself if you want to save time/money or if your dev team has no much idea about authentication in general.

I am in need of a solution for using ADFS 3.0 identities in a ASP.NET Core 2 Web Api application. The Windows Enterprise Support team at my organization has informed me that they are only familiar with SAML or WS-Fed based relying parties within ADFS, and are not interested in allowing me to help them configure OAuth, which I could consume directly within the application. As far as I am aware, neither SAML nor WS-Fed are compatible with anything currently available targeting netcore or netstandard.
I've been looking at Identity Server 4, and it's so-called "Federation Gateway" functionality, but I can't find much in the way of documentation. Is this something that could be useful for my use case? I'm guessing that it's only set up to interface via OAuth or OpenID, but I could be wrong.
I've also looked at using Amazon Cognito as the middleman to issue JWTs based on the SAML response, but after I got a proof of concept working with this configuration, I realized the cost at $0.45/MAU is prohibitively high, as the application will have around 10-15k regular users.
If Identity Server isn't the solution, are there any other similar "Federation Gateway" type solutions available as preferably open source/free software? Even if the solution wasn't .NET-based, I'd be interested in looking at it. I'm toying with the idea of building something like this in Java or Ruby as a last resort.
As of version 2.0, IDS4 can be a WS-Fed relying party. This would allow it to act as a middleman between ADFS and OIDC/OAuth RPs.
This vid from the IDS4 guys covers the available options: https://vimeo.com/254635632
It's also worth noting that you can run ADFS 2016 servers in a 2008R2 or higher domain and that natively supports OpenID Connect but given what you've said about your internal "support" team, deploying IDS4 may be a better option, although probably more work.
Just for completeness, the issue with WS-Fed was cyptographic support in .NET Core. This is now resolved so WS-Fed is supported.
SAML support is available via Sustainsys or Rock Solid Knowledge.
You can implement SAML 2.0 federation with AD FS 3.0 in ASP.NET Core 2.1 using the ITfoxtec Identity Saml2 package. NuGet package: https://www.nuget.org/packages/ITfoxtec.Identity.Saml2.MvcCore/

I´m interested in using the store and the developer portal. In some cases I want to integrate third-party gateway like kong.
The documentation from WSO2 API Manager 2.x says:
- Components usable separately: developer portal can be used to catalog
APIs deployed in third-party gateways
(https://wso2.com/api-management/features/)
Do you have more information about that feature and how to configure it?
Technical this is feasible but requires some work. I've found that someone did it with Intel Expressway Service Gateway.
You would need to implement a custom handler in WSO2 and connect it with Kong. But as the features might differ, the UI may not perfectly fit.
Besides than offering extension points, WSO2 has no real interest in supporting this as the API Gateway is the core component and all of their business models are based on it.
I am using JBoss JSF to develop a personal project, and the website needs a user registration and login feature, as many other sites do. There are lots of tutorials on how to develop a user registration component in Java EE and JPA framework. I just happened to find the KeyCloak project. It seems that KeyCloak can be used for user registration and management purpose, especially if you use JBoss to develop the application.
My question is, do I really need to use this for user registration? It seems very heavy, and I didn't find any API docs that I can refer to integrate it into my web application.
What's the best use case of Keycloak? And how to integrate it in a Java EE application? Any quickstart or tutorial for Java application would be appreciated.
The main Keycloak project includes a adapters documentation (to be used to secure clients) examples project showing how to secure a JEE application using JEE application security.
If you use Spring, there's a Spring Security adapter that support a more very flexible security implementation as well, including examples for this as well.
I am getting myself familiar with all the stuff related to authentication using active directory (both Azure AD and Windows Server AD).
Currently I am inspecting MS Katana project which is based on OWIN specification.
There are three libraries and one of them is kind of confusing for me:
Microsoft.Owin.Security.ActiveDirectory
Microsoft.Owin.Security.OpenIdConnect
Microsoft.Owin.Security.WsFederation
As for OpenId and WsFederation I understand what they are for, there are plenty of examples and articles about that.
What confuses me is the purpose of the ActiveDirectory library. I mean is this another way how to authenticate against active directory besides OpenId and WsFederation?
I am unable to find any relevant clear articles and examples about this one. Even on this site is the libraty only listed, but missing example:
Azure Active Directory Authentication Libraries
So my question is what is this library for and what are the use cases for using it over OpenIdConnect and WsFederation ways.
Thanks
That library contains middleware used for securing Web API with Azure AD. Any sample featuring a web API project in https://github.com/AzureADSamples/ uses it.
Is there a single sign-on solution with completely RESTful API installable on my server? I have looked at OpenAM, which have some of the API available through HTTP/JSON, but not all (and seems too heavy, but if it had all the API, I'd not care).
Do you know of solution for authorization, authentication and identity management that can be used for single sign-on and has all (maybe without setting admin password and such critical issues) its API available though HTTP(S)/JSON?
I have no need for Java API etc., HTTP(S)+CLI for setup is only thing I look for. That is, I doin;t realkly care what the solution is implemented in (no need for Java EE etc.) as far as it does its job and it is secure.
Have you seen Mozilla's new Persona solution built on BrowserID? It does a lot, but it's hard to know if it's sufficient for you without more details about how integrated you need the authorization to be.
You might want to look at Stormpath. They're the largest identify management service (for developers) -- and they are all REST + JSON API backed.
