AWS IAM Alternative:
Extend Access Control With miniOrange


Extend your workforce identity across SaaS, cloud, on-premises, legacy, and custom applications with SSO, MFA, adaptive authentication, provisioning, and lifecycle management with miniOrange IAM.

  Broader Workforce IAM

  Cloud, Hybrid & On-Premises Deployment

  15+ MFA Methods

  6000+ Application Integrations

Why Look for an AWS IAM Alternative?

AWS IAM is built around controlling access to AWS resources. But when workforce identity extends beyond it, you need a broader IAM platform

Application Access

Modern security teams must protect VPNs, Wi-Fi networks, local servers, and non-AWS cloud platforms, which need an identity layer built for more than one environment.

Authentication & Access Policies

Organizations need more flexibility for authentication, demanding support for SAML, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, and WS-Federation for SSO, along with adaptive authentication.

Identity Lifecycle

Managing identities is just a part of the identity lifecycle. Organizations need automated provisioning, updates, and deprovisioning, including SCIM and joiner-mover-leaver workflows.

Deployment Flexibility

Not all applications run on AWS. This is where you need an IAM that supports cloud, hybrid, on-premises, and air-gapped deployments.

Tired of Writing Custom Scripts for Non-AWS Tools?

Connect legacy and non-Amazon apps to modern IAM with ease. Unify access across your hybrid environment with miniOrange.

miniOrange vs AWS IAM: Feature-by-Feature Comparison

Capability

miniOrange

AWS IAM SSO

IAM Scope

Delivers unified SSO, 15+ MFA methods, Windows credential provider support, SCIM user/group provisioning, user re-certification workflows, third-party MFA/IdP integration, and 24/7 live rep phone support.

Manages identities, roles, credentials, and permissions for access to AWS resources. Supports MFA and federation with external SAML 2.0 and OIDC identity providers.

Deployment Choice

Offers flexible cloud and on-premises deployment supporting Windows and Linux environments, multi-domain setups, and free trials.

Runs as an AWS cloud-managed service supporting cloud and on-premises endpoints across operating systems.

Application Access

Protects web, desktop, mobile, and legacy applications using cross-protocol brokering, JWT integration, and Windows Single Sign-On.

Controls access to AWS resources for users, applications, and federated identities.

Authentication & Protocols

Supports standard protocols, cross-protocol brokering, risk-based authentication, offline MFA, and JWT integration.

Supports risk-based and offline MFA. Does not provide general-purpose JWT-based SSO brokering for enterprise applications.

Identity Integration

Authenticates directly via external databases, app APIs, third-party IdPs, third-party MFA providers, and Active Directory/LDAP sources.

Does not function as a general-purpose identity provider for authenticating users directly against external databases or application APIs. Federated authentication can be delegated to supported external IdPs.

How to Migrate from AWS IAM to miniOrange

You don’t have to abandon AWS resource permissions. Move authentication, workforce SSO, MFA, and identity lifecycle management to miniOrange while continuing to use AWS IAM where it is needed.

Review Your AWS IAM Setup

Review Your AWS IAM Setup

Identify your current IAM users, groups, roles, policies, federation flows, and AWS applications. Separate AWS resource permissions from workforce authentication and application access requirements.

Set Up miniOrange

Set Up miniOrange

Connect your existing identity sources and configure your SSO, MFA, adaptive authentication, provisioning, and access policies in miniOrange.

Connect AWS to miniOrange

Connect AWS to miniOrange

Use miniOrange as the identity provider for supported AWS SSO and federation scenarios. miniOrange supports SSO into AWS through SAML-based integration and can work with external identity sources.


Test With a Pilot Group

Test With a Pilot Group

Start with a controlled group of users. Test AWS access, application SSO, MFA policies, provisioning, and the user experience before expanding the rollout.

Move Application Access

Move Application Access

Migrate SaaS, cloud, on-premises, custom, and legacy applications according to business priority and integration complexity. Keep AWS resource permissions in place while you move workforce identity workflows to miniOrange.

Complete the Transition

Complete the Transition

Once your workforce access flows are validated, centralize ongoing authentication, MFA, provisioning, and lifecycle management in miniOrange while retaining AWS IAM for the AWS resource permissions your environment still requires.

Stop Duct-Taping Your Identity Strategy

Unify your security without replacing your existing tech stack. miniOrange connects AWS, SaaS tools, on-premises servers, and legacy applications under one central platform.

More FAQ

Does miniOrange support SSO for AWS?

Yes. miniOrange supports AWS SSO through SAML-based integration and can act as the identity provider for AWS access. It also supports provisioning and MFA for AWS.

Can I use miniOrange with AWS IAM?

Yes. miniOrange can work with AWS IAM in a federated setup. You can use miniOrange to authenticate users and provide federated access to AWS while AWS IAM continues to control permissions for AWS resources.

Is miniOrange an AWS IAM replacement?

miniOrange can replace the need to use core AWS IAM as your primary workforce identity layer, but it does not replace AWS IAM's native role and policy model for authorizing access to AWS resources. You can use the two together, with miniOrange handling workforce identity and AWS IAM enforcing AWS resource permissions.

Does miniOrange support on-premises IAM?

Yes. miniOrange supports cloud, hybrid, on-premises, and air-gapped deployment models for workforce IAM.

Can miniOrange secure legacy applications?

Yes. miniOrange Access Gateway supports SSO and MFA for legacy, custom, and on-premises applications, including applications that use authentication methods outside modern SAML, OAuth, or OIDC flows.

Can I test miniOrange before moving away from AWS IAM?

Yes. miniOrange offers a free trial so you can validate SSO, MFA, provisioning, application integrations, and your target deployment model before rolling it out more broadly.
