In AuthN and AuthZ: Concepts we saw that Authentication Methods represent machine identities or human identities.
Instead of authenticating identities itself, in most cases, Akeyless integrates with 3rd party identity providers that provide tokens of authentication.
-
For machine access, Akeyless supports:
-- Cloud identities (CSP IAM) such as AWS IAM, Azure AD, and soon, GCP.
-- On-prem machines using Akeyless Universal Identity™. -
For human access, Akeyless supports LDAP, SAML, OpenID , and JWT, which are used by known identity providers such as Okta, Azure AD, and others.
-
Akeyless also supports the use of API Keys for authentication of both human and machine identities.
