What is OpenIG?

OpenIG (Open Identity Gateway) is a reverse proxy and policy enforcement point that controls access to web resources. It intercepts HTTP(S) requests and applies authentication, authorization, and other security policies before forwarding them to backend applications. It's commonly used to centralize security concerns, implement single sign-on (SSO), and protect APIs.
