Centralized SSO for legacy appliances and custom webservers is a software problem in Legal & Compliance. It has a heat score of 71 (demand) and competition score of 40 (existing solutions), creating an opportunity score of 55.9.
Internal services lacking built-in SSO support or running on uncommon web servers cannot be easily integrated with a centralized Keycloak SSO solution without deploying multiple reverse proxies or custom authentication layers.

“Ask HN: Running legacy IE/ActiveX clients without local admin rights? We are currently maintaining a very old client-server architecture. The server collects real-time data from a large number of sensors and controllers, transmitting it to a legacy database under continuous, massive load (writes every few seconds). The problem is the client side. It’s ancient, strictly requires Internet Explorer, and heavily relies on ActiveX. If a standard domain user launches the browser, the data fails to loa”

“Multiple servers, one SSO reverse proxy I have a need to secure our various internal services that have website interfaces with SSO. I have set up Keycloak and have configured it and those services that have built-in support for SAML or OpenID. For those that do not support an SSO tech but that do run on Apache or Lighttpd I have added the necessary module to allow those web servers to serve as an SSO reverse proxy of sorts, albeit one per server. This question though is for all of those service”
Market saturation based on known solutions and category signals
Some general-purpose tools partially address this, but no dominant solution exists yet.
Based on heuristics. Will improve as real competition data is collected.
