Introducing Identity Server 7.1: AI-Powered Efficiency, Seamless Customization, and Enhanced B2B CIAM

We’re excited to announce the release of WSO2 Identity Server 7.1, bringing powerful new capabilities to simplify and accelerate your IAM implementations. With AI-driven enhancements, a flexible API-based extension architecture, and enriched B2B CIAM features, this release continues our commitment to delivering cutting-edge identity solutions.

AI Integration for Faster Deployment

With Identity Server 7.1, we’re integrating AI to streamline implementation and reduce the time required to get started. Organizations can now:

• Build user login flows using natural language input – Developers can describe authentication flows in simple terms, and our AI engine will generate the necessary configurations with Login Flow AI.

Create customized branding effortlessly with Branding AI – By providing a website URL, the system can analyze branding elements and apply them automatically to dozens of customer-facing UI elements, reducing manual effort and ensuring consistency. This results in a significant time savings for developers rolling out new applications.

This AI-powered functionality allows businesses to launch faster, optimize user experiences, and minimize reliance on specialized IAM expertise.

API-Based Product Extension Architecture

Customization is a key requirement for modern IAM solutions, and with Identity Server 7.1, we introduce a standardized, API-driven product extension architecture. This enables developers to:

• Build extensions in any preferred programming language
• Deploy them wherever they choose
• Seamlessly connect them via APIs

By making customizations easier to implement and maintain, we empower organizations to tailor their IAM experience with greater flexibility and efficiency.

Features That Extend Our B2B CIAM Leadership

B2B CIAM demands tailored solutions to address the complexity of multi-organization identity management. In this release, we’re enhancing our capabilities with:

• Distinct branding and notification options per customer organization – Deliver personalized experiences for each business partner.
• Expanded delegated administration with impersonation – Organization administrators can now act on behalf of their customer organizations, improving efficiency and reducing friction in user management.

These enhancements further solidify WSO2 Identity Server as a leading B2B CIAM solution, empowering organizations to deliver seamless identity experiences at scale.

Critical Capabilities from Technology Partnerships

We understand that many organizations require additional security and compliance capabilities that integrate seamlessly with their IAM solutions. To support these needs, we’re expanding our technology partner ecosystem with:

• Identity Verification (OnFido) – Ensure secure identity validation during user onboarding.
• Fraud Detection (Sift) – Leverage AI-driven fraud prevention to protect against malicious activities.
• Data Residency Compliance (InCountry) – Meet global data sovereignty requirements with localized data storage solutions.

These integrations allow customers to extend Identity Server 7.1 with best-in-class technologies to meet their security and compliance needs.

Simplified Upgrade Process

Upgrading to newer versions of Identity Server has never been easier. Starting with version 7.0 and beyond, customers can now update in place rather than undergoing a full migration. This streamlined upgrade process significantly reduces effort and ensures a smoother transition to the latest features and improvements.

Get Started with Identity Server 7.1

With WSO2 Identity Server 7.1, we’re making it easier than ever to deploy, customize, and enhance your IAM solutions. Whether you’re leveraging AI-powered automation, customizing with our API-driven architecture, or enhancing your B2B CIAM capabilities, this release is designed to help you achieve faster and more secure identity management.

If you prefer a SaaS deployment, all these new features are also available in Asgardeo, our multi-tenant SaaS, and Private Identity Cloud, our single-tenant SaaS, since all three WSO2 IAM products share the same code base. Ready to explore the new features? Learn more and start upgrading today!
