Four sign-on systems to try, and who wants to help pick one
Greg asked me to share this with the list. The co-op is choosing one system to handle signing in to everything it runs, instead of a separate account for every tool. Rather than pick from the brochures, the four main options are set up side by side on test servers, so we can pick the one people actually like using: Keycloak: https://keycloak.staging.chattanooga.digital/ <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://keycloak.staging.chattanooga.digital/&s...> Authentik: https://authentik.staging.chattanooga.digital/ <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://authentik.staging.chattanooga.digital/&...> OpenAM: https://openam.staging.chattanooga.digital/openam/ <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://openam.staging.chattanooga.digital/open...> Zitadel: https://zitadel.staging.chattanooga.digital/ <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://zitadel.staging.chattanooga.digital/&so...> Nothing there touches the live site, and there's nothing you can break. Greg, Adam, Rob, William and I already have accounts. If you'd like one, reply here and I'll add you. There's no password to keep track of: each system emails you a link to set your own. What we want to know from each one: how easily you find your way around, whether adding a new member looks like something you'd do yourself, and whether anything feels more awkward than it should. There's a checklist to record what you checked, one column per system: https://github.com/Chattanooga-Digital/stack/pull/20 <https://www.google.com/url?q=https://github.com/Chattanooga-Digital/stack/pu...> Tick what you personally verified, with your initials and the date. Anything that surprises you, good or bad, goes on that system's page. Who's interested in helping evaluate? Greg named Adam, Rob and William; more hands are welcome. Reply here and say which one you want to start with. Jon

Thanks, Jonathan! I'll dig into these but it may take me a few weeks. Maybe we could tag team. Adam, Rob, William, is there a particular one that you'd like to focus on? Also, anyone is welcome to check out the evaluation checklist and provide your feedback. I'll personally do that sometime this week or early next. -- Greg Laudeman, Ed.D., Instigator Chattanooga.Digital <https://chattanooga.digital/> greg@chattanooga.digital <mailto:greg.laudeman@chattanooga.digital> 706-271-5521
