WSO2 App Manager was created as a mechanism to offer a standalone solution for publishing and managing all aspects of an application and its lifecycle. We currently have this capability within WSO2 Identity Server (WSO2 IS), and we encourage you to continue to use WSO2 IS to manage your applications.
If you are currently using WSO2 App Manager as a standalone product please contact us
We will of course support it as needed or help you migrate to the right higher level product.
WSO2 App Manager is a complete solution for publishing and managing all aspects of an application and its lifecycle. 100% open source, it also provides an unique one-stop store solution where users can pick and choose apps, and is highly scalable.
Businesses can leverage WSO2 App Manager’s Single-Sign-On (SSO) functionality, which reduces help desk and administrative costs with no long lists of passwords required. It also automatically applies a security layer on top of the Web apps published in the store, which eliminates the need to embed security rules at the application layer, making it a very robust solution.
WSO2 App Manager
Capabilities
WSO2 App Manager combines three main components - a proxy developed using WSO2 Enterprise Service Bus (App Gateway), a web-interface for publishing web and mobile apps (App Publisher) and a storefront (App Store).
Put together, these allow the accurate distribution of apps and licenses, version tracking, shared authentication, as well as centralized access and authorization. iOS, Android, Hybrid and Web apps can be published and managed via a central interface. It also allows multi-tenancy, policy management and fine-grained access control, allowing you to control which users and groups within your organization can access applications and how they do this.
WSO2 App Manager leverages WSO2 Identity Server for SSO across web applications and tools such as WSO2 Data Analytics Server and Google Analytics to visualize statistics.
