<p><a href="https://www.proconnect.gouv.fr">ProConnect</a> is an open-source Federated Identity Provider written mainly in TypeScript and designed to connect professionals with government services. Developed by the French Interministerial Digital Directorate (<a href="https://www.numerique.gouv.fr/numerique-etat/dinum/">DINUM</a>), it builds on the experience of <a href="https://franceconnect.gouv.fr/">FranceConnect</a> while introducing a lightweight, modern architecture.</p> <p>This talk will present the story behind ProConnect—from its origins as an open-source fork of FranceConnect to the motivations that guided its redesign. We will provide a high-level overview of its main components (identity management, federation, moderation workflows, administrative tools) and demonstrate how the platform operates in practice.</p> <p>A particular focus will be placed on the <a href="https://github.com/proconnect-gouv/federation">identity broker layer</a> and its technical foundations, including the use of panva/node-oidc-provider, panva/openid-client, and related tooling. We will look under the hood at how ProConnect implements current practices in identity federation and how its evolving architecture continues to take shape through ongoing development.</p>
