Project Overview

IDMUI (Identity Management User Interface) is a custom-built, Python Flask-based IAM web application developed by Imran Sarwar (Saif Way Technology) to simplify and centralize OpenStack Keystone identity management.

The platform provides a single, user-friendly web interface for managing users, roles, projects, and Keystone services through secure authentication and REST API-driven automation.

Designed for cloud and DevOps environments, IDMUI improves administrative efficiency, security, and visibility for Identity and Access Management (IAM) operations.

What is IDMUI?

IDMUI acts as a bridge between administrators and OpenStack Keystone, abstracting complex CLI and API operations into a secure, role-based web dashboard.

It enables organizations to:

  • Centrally manage identities
  • Enforce role-based access control (RBAC)
  • Monitor Keystone services
  • Automate IAM tasks using APIs

Key Features

  • OpenStack Keystone Integration
    Secure authentication using Keystone tokens and role-based authorization.

  • User, Role & Project Management
    Full CRUD operations for users, roles, and projects via a centralized interface.

  • Centralized IAM Dashboard
    Real-time visibility into identity resources and access assignments.

  • REST API Automation
    All operations are executed using OpenStack Keystone REST APIs.

  • Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)
    Admin and standard user views with restricted access controls.

  • Service Monitoring & Control
    View Keystone service status and perform administrative actions securely.

  • Database Integration
    MySQL-backed storage for configuration data, logs, and metadata.

  • Modern Responsive UI
    Clean, mobile-friendly interface built with Bootstrap and JavaScript.

  • Containerized Deployment
    Docker-based setup for portability, scalability, and reproducibility.

Tools & Technologies

  • Backend: Python (Flask)
  • Frontend: HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap, JavaScript
  • Identity Platform: OpenStack Keystone
  • APIs: REST API
  • Database: MySQL
  • Containerization: Docker
  • Server OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS

Outcome

The IDMUI project successfully delivered:

  • A centralized IAM web interface for OpenStack Keystone
  • Simplified user, role, and project management
  • Secure RBAC-based access control
  • Reduced dependency on CLI-based administration
  • Improved operational efficiency and visibility
  • A production-ready IAM portfolio project

This project demonstrates strong capabilities in cloud IAM, API integration, Flask web development, and DevOps-oriented system design, making it a high-value showcase for cloud, DevOps, and security engineering roles.
