Strata Identity vs SSOGEN: What Each Product Documents

Strata Identity vs SSOGEN comes down to role: Strata documents Maverics as an orchestration layer between applications and the identity providers you choose, while SSOGEN is itself a complete identity provider that also protects applications. The table sets out what each publishes.

Strata Identity vs SSOGEN matters when applications cannot handle modern sign-in on their own and AI agents need a controlled path to your tools. Strata adds an orchestration layer over the identity providers you keep. SSOGEN is the identity provider, with the Web Agent and Gateway that put its checks in front of each application.

The table sets the two side by side, row by row, with the source and read date for every Strata statement.

It does not rank the products and says nothing about price or quality. For a move from Maverics, see the Strata Identity alternative page.

Capability table

Last compared 2026-10-09. Vendors change their products, so check the sources. “Not found in the page index” or “not itemised on the pages read” means just that. It does not mean the capability is missing.

Item	Strata Identity (docs.strata.io, read 2026-10-09)	SSOGEN (own documentation)
Role	Strata describes Maverics as orchestration for modern, legacy and AI identity; its Orchestrator, “a lightweight identity abstraction layer”, routes authentication and authorization between your applications and any identity provider (overview).	A complete identity provider, optionally federating to the one you already run.
Components	An Orchestrator, which routes authentication and authorization, and a Console, a visual interface for connectors, policies and configuration (overview). The Orchestrator is self-hosted; the Console is a cloud service that publishes signed configuration (architecture).	Web Agent and Gateway.
Orchestrator modes	OIDC Provider, SAML Provider, HTTP Proxy, LDAP Provider and AI Identity Gateway (architecture).	Identity provider, Web Agent, Gateway App Proxy, Remote Access, Outbound Connector, Directory Connector.
Protecting a web application	HTTP Proxy mode, an identity-aware reverse proxy that authenticates through the identity provider and passes identity to the backend.	Web Agent inside Apache or Oracle HTTP Server, and the Gateway’s App Proxy for a web application that cannot host a Web Agent.
Identity providers listed	A long list that includes Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, PingFederate, Keycloak, Active Directory, LDAP, Oracle Identity Cloud Service and Oracle Universal Directory (provider index).	Local accounts, LDAP, SAML and OpenID Connect providers; see identity providers.
Oracle E-Business Suite, PeopleSoft	Not found in the docs.strata.io page index (llms.txt), read 2026-10-09.	Dedicated guides: Oracle EBS SSO, PeopleSoft SSO.
MFA methods	Adds SSO and MFA to applications without native support (overview); the methods are not itemised on the pages read.	Authenticator app (TOTP), emailed and texted codes, recovery codes (MFA guide).
Provisioning (SCIM)	Not found in the docs.strata.io page index (llms.txt), read 2026-10-09.	Inbound SCIM endpoint (guide).
Extensibility	Service extensions: “30+ hook points across the authentication and authorization lifecycle with an embedded Go runtime” (overview).	Sign-in behavior is set by policies, rules and conditions in the Admin Console. Webhooks send events out to your systems.
IdP migration and continuity	Incremental migration between identity providers, with authentication routed to old and new providers at the same time, and automatic failover to a backup when an identity provider outage is detected (overview).	Several identity providers run at once, and each policy names its primary providers, so applications move policy by policy. Failover offers backup providers, manually or automatically, when a provider is unavailable.
AI agent traffic	AI Identity Gateway, with two approaches: MCP Proxy and MCP Bridge (AI Identity Gateway overview).	MCP Gateway as part of the SSOGEN Gateway.
Agent identity model	Delegation chains with OAuth token exchange, dynamic scopes, action-level audit (AI Identity Gateway overview).	Owned agent identities, consent, sensitive-scope approvals, kill switch.
Remote access to servers	Not found in the docs.strata.io page index (llms.txt), read 2026-10-09.	SSH, RDP and VNC in the browser (guide).

What the table shows

The first rows matter most. Strata’s documentation puts the Orchestrator between your applications and the identity providers you keep. From that it lists:

SSO and MFA. For applications without native support.
Migration. Identity provider migration.
API protection. Protection for APIs.
Consolidation. Multi-cloud identity consolidation.
Continuity. Identity continuity.
Extensions. Service extensions.

SSOGEN is the identity provider with the sign-in layer attached:

Identity sources. Local users, a directory, and SAML and OpenID Connect sources.
Policy and audit. Per-application policy, MFA and an audit log.
Sign-in layer. The Web Agent or Gateway, which puts those checks in front of the application.

Strata’s documentation lists service extensions with an embedded Go runtime.

SSOGEN provides dedicated Oracle E-Business Suite and PeopleSoft guides, a SCIM endpoint and browser remote access. Strata’s page index did not list those when we read it.

How the two protect a legacy application

SSOGEN offers two routes. Strata documents one proxy mode.

Strata HTTP Proxy. Users reach the application through a reverse proxy that authenticates against the identity provider and passes identity to the backend.

SSOGEN Web Agent. It runs inside the Apache or Oracle HTTP Server that already fronts the application, so the check happens in the web tier you operate.

Web Agent sign-in. It signs people in through SSOGEN and passes their identity to the application in request headers.

Web Agent build. You build the Web Agent on your server from a build kit, against that web server’s own headers. Protecting an application registered in SSOGEN needs no license key; the standalone SAML and OpenID Connect modes need one.

SSOGEN Gateway App Proxy. If a web application cannot host a Web Agent, the Gateway’s App Proxy is the reverse-proxy route.

How the two handle agent traffic

Both vendors document a gateway for MCP traffic.

Strata. Its overview describes delegation chains back to the authorizing person, scopes that change with context, and a fresh minimal token for each tool call, with a lifetime of seconds.

SSOGEN. Its gateway checks a credential bound to the agent’s key against per-tool scopes on every call. Sensitive scopes wait for the person’s approval. You can stop one type of agent or all of them.

Key binding. SSOGEN agent tokens are bound to the agent’s key: the MCP client sends a DPoP proof with every request and, when it acts for a person, a pushed authorization request first.

Rollout check. Confirm that your agent software supports both when you plan the rollout. AI agent identity has the owner, review-date and credential details.

Where Strata Identity fits

Several identity providers. You want one layer in front of them. Maverics is documented for that, including incremental migration.
Orchestration over all of them. Strata lists many connector types. SSOGEN federates to SAML, OpenID Connect and LDAP providers as the identity provider itself.
Custom code. You need it at set points in a flow. Strata documents service extensions with an embedded Go runtime; SSOGEN uses policies, rules and conditions.
Traffic in your infrastructure. A cloud console publishes signed configuration. That is the setup Strata’s architecture page describes.

When SSOGEN fits

An identity provider. Not only a layer over one: local users, your directory, SAML and OpenID Connect, with policies, MFA, failover and an audit log. In production since 2016. See single sign-on software.
Oracle applications. The application is Oracle EBS, PeopleSoft or JD Edwards and you want sign-in inside the web server. See legacy application SSO.
Browser access to servers. Through the Gateway, next to application sign-in.
Agents with owners. One to five named owners, a review date, a key pair, credentials of about four minutes, and sensitive scopes that wait for a person. See MCP Gateway for the per-call checks.

Questions people ask

Is Maverics an identity provider?

Strata calls it an orchestration layer that works with the identity providers you choose. It also lists OIDC Provider and SAML Provider as Orchestrator modes. Strata’s architecture page has the details.

How does a move from Maverics to SSOGEN work?

You register and route each application on its own, so one sits behind SSOGEN while others stay behind Maverics. Neither vendor’s pages we read describe a combined setup, so test the one you plan.
