Just a quick update: we published preview 1 of Duende IdentityServer to Nuget! Preview sounds scary - but this is really just the migrated code-base of IdentityServer4 and the initial feature set of the new automatic key management (I will publish a separate post going into more details about that soon). Duende IdentityServer is free for development and testing. Start here and give it a try! Here’s a list of all the new bits:

Thanks for all your feedback and best wishes! Starting a company is hard, and pricing your products is even harder. We read every single piece of feedback and make some slight adjustments to our license, tiers, included clients and discounts we can give. Please keep in mind, that at this point we are also a startup and try to find good solutions that are sustainable for all of us. Please don’t hesitate to contact us so we can continue fine tuning our company.

Welcome to Duende Software! This company was founded by Brock Allen and Dominick Baier. We’ve been working together since 2009 on free open-source security software. Probably the most well-known is IdentityServer, which is an OpenID Connect and OAuth 2.0 framework for ASP.NET and ASP.NET Core. In 2020 we decided to make the switch from free open-source to a stronger foundation to work on our software. If you are interested in the long version of the history see here.
