# About the Janssen Project

The Janssen Project is a home for open source IAM components, featuring 
Auth Server (OAuth/OpenID), Agama low-code identity orchestration, and the 
Cedarling policy decision point. The "Janssen Server" distributions bundle IAM 
components under one control plane.

If your enterprise needs Janssen for a production deployment, Gluu offers a
commercial distribution of Janssen Project Components called
[Gluu Flex](https://gluu.org/flex) and [Gluu Solo](https://gluu.org/solo).

The Janssen Project is chartered under the Linux Foundation.
