dex is a federated identity management service.
|
||||
It provides OpenID Connect (OIDC) to users, while it proxies to multiple remote identity providers (IdP) to drive actual authentication.
|
||||
We named the project 'dex' beceause it is a central index of users that other pieces of software can authenticate against.
