Authentication Providers

This section provides an overview of the various Authentication Providers integrated into our project, enabling users and services to securely access resources. These providers allow you to leverage existing identity systems, often referred to as Single Sign-On (SSO), to manage authentication.

Available Integrations

We support a variety of authentication methods tailored to different use cases:

Third-Party SSO Integrations: For external users and developers, we support popular identity platforms:

  • GitHub: Allows authentication using existing GitHub accounts.

  • Microsoft: Enables login via Microsoft accounts (e.g., Azure AD, personal accounts).

  • Backstage: Integration for users coming from a Backstage environment, ensuring seamless identity flow.

  • Service Account: Used for non-interactive authentication, typically for automated tasks, services, or machine-to-machine communication, using long-lived credentials.

  • Guest: Provides a simple, unauthenticated way to access public or restricted-read resources without requiring a formal login.

Enabling SSO or Disabling Authentication Methods

To enable Single Sign-On (SSO) or disable authentication entirely, you need to configure the auth provider in InfraKitchen UI. This typically involves specifying the desired authentication provider and its parameters.
