The Shibboleth Project is pleased to announce the first release of the WebAuthn authentication plugin (see the documentation at [1])
The WebAuthn login flow facilitates FIDO2 authentication within the Identity Provider (IdP) by utilizing the Web Authentication API. This enables strong, public-key-based authentication. The plugin can operate in various ways: as a single-factor within a broader multi-factor authentication, as passwordless authentication after the user enters their username, or as usernameless authentication where the user is implicitly identified from the authentication credential they choose.
Thank you once again to everyone who provided feedback on the beta and release candidates.
-- Phil Smart, on behalf of the team
