Numino Identity Management Service

Overview

Numino’s Identity Management Service (IDM) is part of Numino’s Software Product Development Toolkit ) that is designed to streamline user authentication and authorization while giving organizations full control over their security infrastructure. It caters to clients who prefer not to rely on third-party or cloud-based authentication providers due to security, compliance, or operational concerns. Unlike traditional solutions, Numino’s Identity Management Service can be deployed within the client’s environment, ensuring complete ownership, data sovereignty, and flexibility. This makes it an ideal choice for enterprises seeking a secure, customizable, and self-hosted identity management solution.

IDM Service is designed as a multi-tenant authentication and authorization solution, ensuring strong isolation of users, roles, and permissions across different tenants. The service allows organizations to manage identities independently within their environments while maintaining centralized control. Built for flexibility, it enables custom role-based access control (RBAC) and fine-grained permission management for each tenant. 

Designed for self-hosted deployments, it ensures data security, compliance, and full operational control without relying on external identity providers, making it an ideal choice for businesses seeking a scalable and independent identity management solution.

Key Components​

<span class="mil-accent">Authentication and Authorization Service </span>
Authentication and Authorization Service
  • Manages user authentication (login/logout) and authorization (access control). .
  • Supports multi-tenant isolation to ensure that users and permissions are scoped per tenant.
    • <span class="mil-accent">User & Role Management </span>
    User & Role Management
  • Provides user registration, profile management, and role assignment.
  • Users are grouped into Roles and User Groups to manage access efficiently.
    • <span class="mil-accent">Permission and Access Control </span>
    Permission and Access Control
  • Defines Permissions based on Operations (e.g., Read, Write, Delete) on Resources.
  • Supports Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
    • <span class="mil-accent">Admin UI and User Portal </span>
    Admin UI and User Portal
  • Built with ReactJS for managing users, roles, permissions, and tenants via a web interface.
  • Provides an audit log for tracking access changes and security eventsissues quickly to improve app stability. .

    • Security and Compliance

    Implements fine-grained access policies to restrict unauthorized actions.
    Supports audit logging and activity tracking for compliance and monitoring.
    Can integrate with external monitoring tools for observability.

    Deployment and Scalability

    Server-based environment
    Server-based environment
    The IDM Spring Boot service runs on virtual machines, managed through traditional infrastructure setups. It operates as a long-running process, typically deployed using system service managers, with the backend database hosted on a dedicated or managed database service like MySQL. Scaling is achieved by provisioning additional compute resources or running multiple instances behind a load balancer.
    Serverless environment
    Serverless environment
    IDM can be containerized and deployed using cloud-native serverless platforms like AWS. Authentication and authorization workflows are triggered on demand, eliminating the need for managing servers. Stateless authentication is handled via JWT tokens, and persistent user and role data are stored in a managed database. This setup ensures automatic scaling, reduced operational overhead, and cost efficiency by running only when needed.

    Supported Integrations

    Once permissions and groups are defined in Numino’s Identity Management Service (IDM), they can be enforced in external services using Token-Based Authorization and RBAC-based API Gateways. Here’s how it works:

    <h5 data-elementor-setting-key="title" data-pen-placeholder="Type Here..." style="text-transform: none;">Token-Based Authentication (JWT/OAuth2) <span style="font-size: 22px; text-transform: unset;"></span></h5>
    Token-Based Authentication (JWT/OAuth2)
  • IDM issues a JWT (JSON Web Token) or similar token upon successful authentication. .
  • The token contains user roles, permissions, and tenant information.
  • Other services validate the token and enforce access rules based on the encoded claims.
    • <h5 data-elementor-setting-key="title" data-pen-placeholder="Type Here..." style="text-transform: none;">Role-Based API Gateway Enforcement <span style="font-size: 22px; text-transform: unset;"></span></h5>
    Role-Based API Gateway Enforcement
  • IDM can integrate with an API Gateway (e.g. AWS API Gateway).
  • The gateway checks the user’s roles and permissions before forwarding requests to protected services.
  • Requests without valid permissions are rejected at the gateway level, preventing unauthorized access.
    • <h5 data-elementor-setting-key="title" data-pen-placeholder="Type Here..." style="text-transform: none;">Direct Service-Level Authorization (RBAC Checks) <span style="font-size: 22px; text-transform: unset;"></span></h5>
    Direct Service-Level Authorization (RBAC Checks)
  • Services query IDM’s Authorization API to validate if a user has the necessary permissions.
  • The service enforces fine-grained access control (e.g., restricting actions based on user roles).
  • This ensures consistent access control across all integrated applications.
    • <h5 data-elementor-setting-key="title" data-pen-placeholder="Type Here..." style="text-transform: none;">Integration with Frontend Applications <span style="font-size: 22px; text-transform: unset;"></span></h5>
    Integration with Frontend Applications
  • The frontend application checks user permissions from IDM before rendering UI elements (e.g., hiding restricted buttons or features).
  • Prevents unauthorized users from attempting restricted operations. .

    • Results

    Self Sufficiency
    Self Sufficiency
    Clients retain full control over their authentication and authorization processes without relying on third-party identity providers.

    Operational Efficiency
    Operational Efficiency
    Reduces dependency on external IAM services, lowering long-term costs and providing a customizable identity solution tailored to client needs.

    Faster Decision-Making & Implementation
    Faster Decision-Making & Implementation
    Organizations can meet regulatory and security requirements by hosting the service within their own infrastructure, ensuring data sovereignty.

    Future Outlook

    Support for Other OAuth Systems

    Numino’s Identity Management Service is designed with flexibility in mind and can be extended to support industry-standard OAuth2 and OpenID Connect authentication mechanisms. This would allow integration with third-party identity providers such as:

    Google, Microsoft, and Okta for Single Sign-On (SSO).
    Custom OAuth providers used in enterprise environments.

    The service’s modular architecture allows for the addition of OAuth flows while maintaining its multi-tenant structure and RBAC policies. This makes it adaptable to future security requirements without overhauling the core system.
