For ourselves, nothing really. For a customer: They really don't want to pay the licens once it is required, and they need ActiveDirectory authentication or KeyCloak. I've already been in contact with someone working on Kowl, and we're just waiting on OIDC support.

Really we just want an alternative to Kowl, if a customer asks for suggestions. For our own use, we plan on keeping Kowl.
