The Wren Security Suite
Community-driven, open-source software for user authentication, user identity management, and single-sign-on.
Wren Security is an open-source community security suite. It adopted community projects formerly maintained by ForgeRock™, that usually have roots in Sun Microsystems’ products.
In the beginning there was the time for a fork initiative. We couldn’t know if a functioning community emerges. It did. Join us on Google Groups or Gitter.
Wren Security is a CDDL-licensed, community fork of the following ForgeRock products:
Wren:AM
Wren:DS
Wren:IDM
Wren:ICF
Become a contributor
Every person gives us more momentum. Here are some of the roles we could use your help for:
Community Coordinator
Someone to help us get the word out about all the great technical work that’s being done behind the scenes on the Wren fork. The ideal person to help us is someone who’s great at communicating, understands technical issues (without necessarily having to be a developer), and can spend about 10-15 hours a week helping us with content, posts, and discussions in the issue queue.
DevOps / TravisCI Admin
Someone to help us ensure that our buildable projects stay buildable, as we continue to accept PRs and enhancements. Experience with TravisCI, automated container creation, and with integrating code style (e.g. FindBugs, CheckStyle, etc) automatically in GitHub PRs is a plus. We expect that there will be more time needed up-front for this role than on-going; likely it will take the next few weeks to get us completely tuned up for this.
Penetration Testers / Security Analysts
A lot of our current work involves fixing existing and/or known issues in projects like Wren:AM 13.5 and Wren:IDM 5.x. If you are someone who can help us find and plug the holes in our current releases, please reach out. We’d love to tap your skill to make our platform even more secure.
Project Leads
We’re current looking for some leads on Wren:AM and Wren:DS to enhance our current technical team. Leads would help coordinate PRs and enforce project process. Likely 15 to 20 hours per week; more if the leads want to have a more hands-on role in PRs.
Just visit our gitter channel and start chatting.
What Wren:IDM users say…
I like what I see as far as thoroughness with the project. I noticed a few other fork attempts, but Wren is the only trustworthy one to me. It might be slow-going, but you guys are responsive and straightforward.
We’d also considered other products, but they are too difficult to learn, too tailored to a common corporate infrastructure, or have only high-level documentation. In particular, while other products only suggest possibilities, with Wren:IDM, I have the tools and the info I need to get it done.
