Identity Management

Kubernetes has become the de facto standard for container orchestration, enabling organizations to deploy, scale, and manage containerized applications with ease. As applications grow in complexity and scale, the need for robust identity and access management (IAM) solutions becomes critical. OpenID Connect (OIDC), an extension of OAuth 2.0, provides a secure and standardized way to authenticate and authorize users and services. In this blog post, we will explore how to integrate Kubernetes with OIDC tokens for seamless automation, enabling secure and efficient workflows. ...

In the modern digital landscape, secure authentication and authorization are critical for protecting user data and enabling seamless access to applications. Three key protocols—SAML, OpenID Connect (OIDC), and OAuth 2.0—play pivotal roles in identity and access management. While they share some similarities, each serves distinct purposes and operates differently. This post explores these protocols in depth, highlighting their use cases, workflows, and differences. What is SAML? Security Assertion Markup Language (SAML) is an XML-based standard for exchanging authentication and authorization data between parties, particularly between an Identity Provider (IdP) and a Service Provider (SP). SAML is widely used in enterprise Single Sign-On (SSO) solutions, allowing users to log in once and access multiple services without re-entering credentials. ...
