OpenID Connect (OICD) integration provides the following benefits that greatly increase the flexibility to authenticate providers working with the JFrog Platform.

  • Passwordless experience: Eliminate the storage of basic credentials, permanent tokens, or API Keys, for example in GitHub Secrets, thereby mitigating security risks.

  • Dynamic Token Generation: Efficient management of the token lifecycle with automated token generation with short-term lifespans. Significantly reduces the likelihood of outdated or unused tokens in the system, which minimizes security risks.

  • Consistent Access Control Policies: Consistently apply access control policies with a fine-grained permission model. Enforce the principle of least privilege, which grants only the necessary permissions for specific operations, resulting in a more secure environment.

  • Improved Developer Experience: Create seamless, efficient, user-friendly, and secure developer workflow by eliminating the need for manual token management to handle and manage tokens manually.

  • Seemless Access

    Provides automatic secure access to JFrog resources without manual token creation.

  • Reduces Configuration Errors

    Use OIDC parameters for authentication configuration and identity mapping.
