Velruse Documentation

Velruse is a set of authentication routines that provide a unified way to have a website user authenticate to a variety of different identity providers and/or a variety of different authentication schemes.

It is similar in some ways to Janrain Engage with the exception of being open-source, locally installable, and easily pluggable for custom identity providers and authentication schemes.

You can run Velruse as a stand-alone service for use with your websites regardless of the language they’re written in. While Velruse itself is written in Python, since it can interact with your website purely via HTTP POST’s.

Velruse can:

  • Normalize identity information from varying provider sources (OpenID, Google, Facebook, etc.) to Portable Contacts.
  • Simplify complex authentication protocols by providing a simple consistent API
  • Provide extension points for other authentication systems, write your own auth provider to handle CAS, LDAP, and use it with ease
  • Integrate with most web applications regardless of the language used to write the website
