Aembit vs SSOGEN comes down to who the caller is. Aembit secures software reaching other software. SSOGEN, launched in 2016, is a complete identity provider for people, applications and the AI agents that act for them.

The two meet in one place: AI agents calling tools through an MCP gateway. The page does not rank the products or make any claim about pricing or quality. For which problem each one fits, see the Aembit alternative page.

Capability table

Last compared 2026-10-09. Vendors change their products, so check the sources. “Not stated” means only that the pages read do not say, not that the capability is missing.

Item	Aembit (own pages, read 2026-10-09)	SSOGEN (own documentation)
Who the caller is	Client Workload: a non-human entity that needs a resource (core concepts).	People, applications and registered AI agents.
What is being reached	Server Workload: the resource, such as an API, database or SaaS application (core concepts).	An application, with scopes you define on it, such as `invoices.read`.
Proving what the caller is	Trust Provider: validates the client’s identity through workload attestation, using evidence from its runtime environment (core concepts).	The agent’s own key pair, registered as a public key. Each request proves possession of that key.
Deciding access	Access Policy: which client may reach which server under what conditions (core concepts).	Sign-in and access policy, plus the scopes granted to the agent; conditions include the kind of caller and the acting identity.
Supplying credentials	Credential Provider obtains the credential, and Aembit Edge components inject it just in time so the client keeps no long-lived secret (core concepts).	A short-lived token bound to the agent’s key, so a stolen token is useless without the key.
Employees signing in to Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft or JD Edwards	Not stated on the pages read.	Web Agent and Oracle EBS SSO.
Is it an identity provider for people?	Works alongside the human identity providers you already use, including Okta, Azure AD and Google, through OIDC and SAML (agentic AI page). Acting as the identity provider for employees is not stated on the pages read.	A complete identity provider with single sign-on, MFA, SCIM and an audit log.
AI agent access with the person included	Blended identity, which combines an agent’s identity with the person it acts for (agentic AI page).	Delegation: the person is the subject and the agent the actor (the `act` claim of RFC 8693). The agent receives the credential after the person consents, and OAuth token exchange covers a credential for another resource.
MCP authorization	OAuth 2.1 authorization code flow as the MCP specification defines it, and credential exchange at request time so that agents never hold direct credentials for MCP servers (agentic AI page).	MCP Gateway checks the agent’s credential against per-tool scopes on every call. Requires DPoP, and a pushed authorization request when acting for a person.
Owners and review dates	Not stated on the pages read.	One to five named owners per agent and a review date (AI agent identity).
Sensitive actions	Conditional access factors such as time of day or geographic location (agentic AI page).	Sensitive scopes are never part of a delegation and wait for the person’s approval each time (AI agent permissions).
Revocation	Instant revocation (agentic AI page).	Kill switch for one agent type: new credentials stop at once, and credentials already issued stop working within five minutes. Turning the AI agents setting off stops all agent token issuing.
Audit	Structured audit logs of every MCP request, with agent identity, user identity, target server and policy decision, integrated with your SIEM (agentic AI page).	Tool-call decisions recorded in a hash-chained audit trail.
Dynamic client registration	Agents and MCP clients “can register dynamically” (agentic AI page).	An administrator registers every agent, so each one has a named owner before it can ask for a token.
Where the MCP gateway runs	As of 2026-10-09 the page describes two components. The MCP Authorization Service “runs as a fully managed capability in Aembit Cloud”. The MCP Identity Gateway “deploys as a Linux virtual machine in your own environment”, and the page lists containerized and fully managed deployment options for it as upcoming (agentic AI page).	The Gateway is a component you run in your own network.
Browser access to servers, internal web apps	Not stated on the pages read.	App Proxy, and browser SSH, RDP and VNC (secure remote access).

What the table shows

Aembit’s vocabulary. It centers on software that needs access to other software. A workload proves what it is, a policy decides, and a credential appears at the moment of access.
No long-lived secret. The caller never holds a long-lived secret.
SSOGEN’s agent rows. They center on a registered agent that acts for a named person, with an owner, a review date, the person’s consent and a kill switch.
Where SSOGEN adds rows. SSOGEN covers two rows the Aembit pages read do not describe: owners and review dates, and sign-in to ERP applications.
Where Aembit is strong. Aembit’s own strengths sit in three rows: runtime attestation through a Trust Provider, credential injection for databases and cloud APIs, and dynamic agent registration. In SSOGEN, an administrator registers every agent.

Where the two meet

Both document an MCP-facing gateway and a blend of agent and person.

Aembit credentials. Aembit describes a credential exchange at request time, so agents hold no direct credentials for MCP servers.
SSOGEN credentials. SSOGEN issues a credential bound to the agent’s key, with the person as subject and the agent as actor.
SSOGEN client requirements. A client proves possession of a key with every request (DPoP), and a client acting for a person also uses a pushed authorization request (PAR). Plain bearer tokens are refused.
Aembit tool filtering. Aembit’s page says its MCP Identity Gateway filters tools.
SSOGEN tool checks. The SSOGEN MCP Gateway checks every tools/call against the agent’s scopes and refuses any tool outside them, so tools/list can never widen what an agent is allowed to run.

For the wider picture, read AI agent identity and non-human identity. For the people side, read single sign-on software.

Where Aembit fits

Your callers are mostly workloads, like services, functions and pipelines across cloud accounts, and the hard problem is removing static secrets.
You want credentials issued after workload attestation. Aembit documents Trust Providers for that. SSOGEN builds agent identity on a registered key with a named owner.
Your targets are databases, cloud APIs and SaaS APIs, and you need credential injection.
Your MCP clients rely on dynamic registration. Aembit describes it. SSOGEN has an administrator register each agent.
You want MCP access control that works alongside the identity providers you already use for the person. Aembit’s page names Okta, Azure AD and Google.

When SSOGEN fits

People sign in too. SSOGEN is a complete identity provider, so employees, contractors and agents share one policy model.
You run Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft or JD Edwards, where the Web Agent runs inside the web server.
Agents act for named people on business systems, and you need owners, consent, approvals for sensitive scopes and a kill switch.
You want tool-call checks inside your own network, with decisions in a hash-chained audit trail.
Internal web apps and servers need browser access alongside agent access.
