node-wsfed is being archived

We are letting the community know that node-wsfed will be archived on 2 November 2026 and will become read-only.

This library implements the server (IdP) side of the WS-Federation protocol in Node.js. It has not received active feature development for some time, and we have decided to formally archive it rather than continue presenting it as actively maintained.

What this means

• The repository will be archived (read-only) on 2 November 2026. After that date, Issues and Pull Requests will be disabled.
• We are not looking to transfer ownership of this project to a new maintainer.
• All existing releases remain available, and the wsfed npm package will remain installable, we are not unpublishing anything.
• The wsfed npm package will be marked as deprecated on 4 January 2027 (after a grace period to avoid breaking existing tooling). It will remain installable.

What you should do

• We encourage all users and dependents to find a replacement that fits their needs.
• Please note there is no direct, drop-in Auth0-maintained replacement. Evaluate community alternatives carefully against your security and maintenance requirements.

npm package

To avoid breaking existing tooling and CI pipelines, the wsfed npm package will not be marked as deprecated immediately. We plan to mark it as deprecated on 4 January 2027, after a grace period. The package will remain installable.
