The API covers users, organizations, applications, providers (social OAuth, LDAP, SMTP), and tokens. Agents can create and manage users, configure OAuth applications, manage role assignments, and retrieve user authentication history. The comprehensive management API supports automated user lifecycle operations that would otherwise require manual web UI interaction.
Reliability for self-hosted Casdoor is the team's operational responsibility. Authentication infrastructure downtime directly blocks user access to applications — high-availability deployment (multiple instances, database replication) is essential for production use. Casdoor's active development community provides security patches and feature updates.
Casdoor is an open-source centralized authentication platform supporting SSO, OAuth2, SAML, OIDC, and LDAP — a self-hosted alternative to Auth0 or Keycloak with a modern web UI and REST API for user and application management. For organizations requiring self-hosted identity infrastructure with full data control, Casdoor provides the authentication protocols and user management capabilities without vendor lock-in or managed-service pricing. The REST API enables agents to programmatically manage users, applications, and providers.
Authentication to the Casdoor management API uses the built-in admin credentials or service account tokens. Self-hosted Casdoor instances require secure credential management for the admin API. Teams deploying Casdoor for production authentication infrastructure should implement network isolation and API access monitoring appropriate for identity infrastructure.
Documentation covers the deployment, configuration, and API with reasonable depth for an open-source project. The provider configuration documentation — setting up LDAP, social OAuth, or SMTP for magic links — is practical for teams configuring their specific authentication needs. Teams evaluating Casdoor versus ZITADEL or Keycloak for self-hosted identity should compare the API completeness and the active development momentum.
