What is IWA?
IWA most likely refers to Integrated Windows Authentication. It's a mechanism that allows users to log in to network resources using their Windows credentials. It's commonly used in intranet environments to provide single sign-on (SSO) experiences for web applications and services.

IWA Competitor Technologies
W
WS-Fed
WS-Federation is a competing web services federation protocol that, like IWA, deals with authentication and authorization. However, WS-Fed is less commonly used.
SAML
Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is another protocol for SSO and federated identity. It serves a similar purpose to IWA for web-based applications, providing an alternative way to authenticate users. Therefore, SAML is a competitor to IWA in some scenarios.

IWA Complementary Technologies
OIDC
OpenID Connect (OIDC) is an authentication layer on top of OAuth 2.0. While IWA provides authentication within a Windows domain, OIDC is used for federated identity and single sign-on across different systems. OIDC can be used to grant access to applications after a user has been authenticated through IWA, making them complementary.
OAuth
OAuth is an authorization framework. While IWA focuses on authentication, OAuth focuses on authorizing access to resources. They can be used together, where IWA authenticates the user, and OAuth authorizes access to specific resources. Therefore it is complementary.
Microsoft Active Directory
Active Directory is the core directory service that IWA relies on. IWA uses the Kerberos protocol for authentication within an Active Directory domain. Active Directory is a foundational technology for IWA. Therefore it is complementary.
