Locations: Bangalore Pune Hyderabad Service Line: Cyber Security Identity & Access Management Experience: 4-7 Years Position Summary We are seeking a high-performing Consultant ForgeRock Access Management (Workforce IAM) with strong experience in designing, implementing, and operating ForgeRock-based workforce identity solutions. The role involves delivering enterprise-scale identity and access transformation programs focused on employee, contractor, and privileged user access across hybrid and cloud environments. The selected candidate will be responsible for hands-on configuration of ForgeRock Access Management capabilities, enabling secure SSO, conditional/adaptive access, and MFA with emphasis on phishing-resistant authentication (e.g., FIDO2/WebAuthn/passkeys) and security hardening.

You will collaborate with client stakeholders to build Zero Trust-aligned workforce identity architectures and ensure audit-ready controls.

Key Responsibilities - Implement and configure ForgeRock Access Management (AM) for workforce IAM use cases (SSO, Federation, Adaptive/Conditional Access, MFA).

- Design and implement Single Sign-On (SSO) for SaaS, custom, and on-prem applications using SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, and OpenID Connect (OIDC).
- Build and manage authentication journeys using ForgeRock Authentication Trees and Nodes (including custom scripts/nodes as required).
- Implement Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) and step-up authentication policies with a focus on phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2/WebAuthn/passkeys/security keys) and controlled fallback methods.
- Design contextual and risk-based access policies (device, geo, IP/network zones, behavior signals) aligned to Zero Trust and least privilege.
- Integrate ForgeRock with enterprise directories (Active Directory/LDAP) and configure identity store, authentication modules,



and mappings.
- Configure federation relationships (IdP/SP), certificate/key management, signing/encryption policies, and metadata exchange.
- Implement session and token hardening: secure cookie settings, timeouts, re-auth triggers, concurrent session control, PKCE and best practices for OIDC/OAuth.
- Configure claims mapping, scopes, JWT customization, and token transformation based on application requirements.
- Troubleshoot authentication, federation, MFA, session, and token-related issues using logs, audit trails, and protocol traces.
- Support workforce IAM architecture for hybrid and cloud environments; participate in solutioning, estimation, and delivery planning.
- Develop High-Level and Low-Level Design documentation, build/configuration guides, and operational runbooks.
- Automate deployments and operations using REST APIs, scripting (JavaScript/Groovy), and CI/CD patterns where applicable.
- Support migration from legacy IAM platforms and contribute to audit/compliance activities (controls evidence, logging, policy validation).

Required Skills & Qualifications - 3-7 years of experience in Identity & Access Management (IAM).

- Minimum 2 years of hands-on experience with ForgeRock Access Management (AM) implementing workforce authentication and SSO.
- Strong understanding of authentication and federation standards: SAML 2.0, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect, JWT/JWS/JWE.




- Hands-on experience implementing conditional/adaptive access and step-up authentication using ForgeRock Authentication Trees/Policies.
- Hands-on experience implementing MFA, including phishing-resistant MFA (FIDO2/WebAuthn/passkeys/security keys) and secure enrollment/recovery flows.
- Experience integrating with Active Directory / LDAP and troubleshooting directory/authentication issues.
- Experience with REST APIs and basic scripting (JavaScript/Groovy; familiarity with PowerShell or Python is a plus).
- Strong troubleshooting skills across auth flows, sessions, cookies, redirects, and protocol-level issues.

Preferred Qualifications - Experience with ForgeRock Identity Management (IDM) and/or ForgeRock Identity Gateway (IG).

- Experience with containerized deployments (Docker/Kubernetes/OpenShift) and HA/DR architectures for IAM.
- Exposure to SIEM/log analytics (Splunk/ELK) and building audit-ready authentication logging and reporting.
- Knowledge of Zero Trust architecture patterns, device trust concepts, and up-to-date authentication hardening practices.
