Building secure applications with OutSystems

OutSystems features mechanisms that empower developers to build secure applications with minimal effort.

What identity providers can be used in OutSystems apps?

OutSystems has a built-in authentication provider, and integrates with Active Directory and LDAP. Teams also have the ability to integrate with any chosen identity provider.

Is single sign-on available?

By default, all applications built with OutSystems have a single sign-on capability. Users only need to authenticate once, and navigate seamlessly across apps.

Role-based access control for OutSystems applications

OutSystems supports role-based access control. Roles are created in the visual editor when developing an app. It's managed using a back-office or existing APIs.

Can I secure OutSystems applications and services with HTTPS?

OutSystems allows a team to expose screens and services with an HTTPS end-point. This ensures all communications between customers and servers are secure.

How can I create secure REST APIs with OutSystems?

With OutSystems you can secure an organization's REST APIs by toggling a single property. Choose between no authentication, basic HTTP authentication, or implement a custom authentication mechanism.

How can I create secure mobile apps?

OutSystems provides a number of recommendations and plugins to help make your mobile applications more secure.
