ADR-008: Authentication & Identity Strategy

Status: Draft
Date: 2026-01-24

Context

CostEngine handles sensitive proprietary manufacturer data. We need a robust, scalable identity provider that supports multi-tenancy.

Decision

Keycloak (Managed or Self-hosted).

Rationale

  • Enterprise Standards: Native support for SAML and OIDC.
  • Multi-Tenancy: Each manufacturer can have its own "Realm".
  • Future-Proof: Easy integration with existing factory LDAP/Active Directory if required by Tier-1 suppliers.
