Identity Management, the Kubernetes Way

Define OIDC clients, security policies, and auth servers as Kubernetes CRDs. GitOps-friendly, operator-managed, and built for platform teams.

Built for Modern Platforms

Everything you need to manage identity in Kubernetes, without the operational overhead.

Kubernetes-Native

Define clients, policies, and servers as CRDs. Managed by a Kubernetes operator that reconciles your desired state.

GitOps Ready

Store your auth configuration alongside your app manifests. Review, version, and roll back with standard Git workflows.

Separation of Concerns

Developers own AuthClients, security teams own AuthPolicies, platform teams own AuthServers. Each team manages what they know best.

OIDC / OAuth2 Compliant

Standards-based identity provider with full OIDC discovery, PKCE support, and configurable token lifetimes.

Observable

Built-in Prometheus metrics and OpenTelemetry tracing. Know exactly what's happening with your auth layer.

Secure by Default

Enforced PKCE, automatic secret rotation, short-lived tokens, and policy-driven scope restrictions out of the box.

How It Works

Three resources, three teams, one unified identity layer.

Define

Platform teams create an AuthServer and security teams define AuthPolicies as Kubernetes CRDs.

AuthServer + AuthPolicy

Request

Developers create an AuthClient in their namespace, referencing the server. The operator validates it against policies.

AuthClient

Enforce

The operator provisions the OIDC client, generates secrets, and continuously reconciles state. Ready to authenticate.

Operator Reconciliation

A Better Way to Manage Auth

Stop clicking through dashboards. Define your auth infrastructure as code, review it like any other change, and let the operator handle the rest.

BeforeClassic UI Approach

AfterNauthera GitOps Approach

Built for Every Team

Clear ownership boundaries. Each team manages what they know best.

Developers

Self-service OIDC clients in your namespace.

Create AuthClients without tickets or waiting
Credentials auto-generated as K8s Secrets
Focus on your app, not auth infrastructure

Security Teams

Enforce policies centrally, audit everything.

Define AuthPolicies with token TTLs and grant types
Enforce PKCE and automatic secret rotation
Full audit trail via Kubernetes events

Platform Teams

Own the auth layer, not every client.

Manage AuthServers and UserStores
GitOps-native configuration management
Observable with Prometheus and OpenTelemetry

Architecture

A declarative, operator-driven approach to identity management.
