This product has charges associated with it for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WSO2 Identity Server is an open-source identity and access management platform running on the JVM, implementing OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0 and SCIM 2.0. This Lynxroute build is hardened and ready out of the box: no administrator password baked into the image, a fresh signing keystore generated at first launch to replace the publicly known default, plain HTTP disabled so only TLS is served, TLS restricted to 1.2 and 1.3, PostgreSQL bound to 127.0.0.1 only, UFW firewall pre-configured, and a CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS base.
Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.
This is a repackaged software product wherein additional charges apply for hardening, security configuration, and support.
WHAT IS WSO2 IDENTITY SERVER
WSO2 Identity Server is an open-source identity and access management platform that issues and validates tokens for your applications and APIs and centralises how users sign in across them. It runs as a single Java server on Eclipse Temurin 21 and implements OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0, SCIM 2.0 user provisioning and OIDC front-channel logout, with multi-factor and adaptive authentication, passwordless and social login, B2B organisation management, and self-service registration and password recovery. It federates with external identity providers and can read users from LDAP or Active Directory. This image persists identity, consent, registry and agent data in a bundled PostgreSQL instance, and ships a browser admin console plus a separate My Account portal for end users. Apache-2.0 license, no vendor lock-in. Running your own identity server keeps every login, token and user attribute inside your own AWS account, priced per instance rather than per monthly active user.
WHAT THIS AMI ADDS
Security hardening:
No administrator password is baked into the image - a random super-admin credential is generated at first launch and written to a root-only file
The signing keystore is regenerated at first launch, replacing the publicly known default key that ships with the distribution, with subject alternative names covering every access path
The truststore password is rotated off the published default value
The internal application credential that ships with the distribution, and its published hash, are both replaced at first launch
Plain HTTP transport is disabled - only the TLS port serves traffic and only that port is opened in the firewall
TLS restricted to 1.2 and 1.3; client-initiated TLS renegotiation rejected; the HTTP response header no longer advertises the underlying server stack
PostgreSQL bound to 127.0.0.1 only, never exposed off the instance
UFW firewall pre-configured - TCP 9443 and SSH 22 only
fail2ban and AppArmor pre-configured
CVE scan - every image is scanned for vulnerabilities before release
OS hardening (CIS Level 1):
CIS Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Level 1 benchmark applied via ansible-lockdown
CIS Conformance Report at /etc/lynxroute/cis-report.html
CIS Tailored Profile at /usr/share/doc/lynxroute/CIS_TAILORED_PROFILE.md
Highlights
WSO2 Identity Server security baked in: no administrator password in the image (a random one is generated at first launch), signing keystore regenerated to replace the publicly known default, plain HTTP disabled so only TLS is served, TLS restricted to 1.2 and 1.3, PostgreSQL bound to 127.0.0.1 only.
CIS Level 1 hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS: auditd, fail2ban, AppArmor, SSH key-only, IMDSv2 enforced. CVE-scanned before every release. SBOM (CycloneDX) and CIS Conformance Report included.
Standards-based single sign-on for your own applications: OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, SAML 2.0, SCIM 2.0 provisioning, multi-factor and adaptive authentication, B2B organisations. Apache-2.0 license - fully auditable, no vendor lock-in.

WSO2 Identity Server - Hardened Identity and Access Management
You pay by the hour based on the EC2 instance size you launch. All four options run the same hardened Identity Server image, so pricing scales with compute capacity, not features. The t3.large and m6i.large give you smaller compute footprints. The m6i.xlarge and m6i.2xlarge give you more CPU and memory for heavier workloads. Software charges accrue per hour, and you add the underlying AWS infrastructure cost separately. Choose the instance size that matches your expected load, and change it later as your needs shift.
Top-of-mind questions for buyers
What resources come with each hourly instance, and what does the image include out of the box?
Each option launches a hardened Ubuntu 24.04 LTS image running WSO2 Identity Server. Every instance ships with CIS Level 1 hardening, CVE scanning, a CycloneDX SBOM, a CIS Conformance Report, and unique credentials generated at first boot. The instance size sets the CPU and memory you get.
Am I charged when my instance is stopped or powered off?
Software charges accrue per hour while the instance runs. A fully stopped instance does not accrue hourly software charges. Stopped instances may still incur underlying AWS storage fees for attached volumes. The software licence meters running time only.
Can I switch to a different instance size after I launch?
Yes. All four options run the same image, so you can resize between t3.large, m6i.large, m6i.xlarge, and m6i.2xlarge as your load changes. Your hourly software rate then follows the new instance size. Any change is made manually through your AWS console.

An AMI is a virtual image that provides the information required to launch an instance. Amazon EC2 (Elastic Compute Cloud) instances are virtual servers on which you can run your applications and workloads, offering varying combinations of CPU, memory, storage, and networking resources. You can launch as many instances from as many different AMIs as you need.

Additional details
Usage instructions
Launch instance (m6i.xlarge recommended; 4 vCPU and 4 GB RAM is the vendor minimum)
Open https://<PUBLIC_IP>:9443/console in your browser - accept the self-signed certificate warning
Log in as admin with the password from the credentials file
Create your own administrator, then disable or change the generated account
End users sign in at https://<PUBLIC_IP>:9443/myaccount to manage their profile, sessions and multi-factor enrolments
The administrator password is generated on this instance at first launch and is unique to it; no password is baked into the image. Allow two to four minutes after launch for the identity server to finish starting before the console answers.
Credentials are saved to /root/wso2is-credentials.txt.
Standard endpoints, all on port 9443: OpenID Connect discovery at /oauth2/token/.well-known/openid-configuration, JWKS at /oauth2/jwks, SCIM 2.0 at /scim2/Users, token endpoint at /oauth2/token.
On sign-in the browser is redirected to this instance's configured server hostname, which is its public DNS name. That is expected.
Plain HTTP on port 9763 is disabled in this image; only TLS on 9443 is served.
Replace the self-signed TLS certificate with a CA-signed certificate for production use, then update the keystore settings and the server hostname in /opt/wso2is/repository/conf/deployment.toml and restart with: sudo systemctl restart wso2is
