Architecture

Dex is an identity service that uses OpenID Connect to drive authentication for other apps. Dex acts as a portal to other identity providers through “connectors.” This lets Dex defer authentication to LDAP servers, SAML providers, or established identity providers like GitHub, Google, and Active Directory.

Getting help

• For feature requests and bugs, file an issue.
• For general discussion about both using and developing Dex, you can join the #dexidp channel on the Kubernetes Slack, or join the Dex-dev mailing list.

Reporting a security vulnerability

Due to their public nature, GitHub and mailing lists are NOT appropriate places for reporting vulnerabilities. Please refer to the project’s security disclosure process when reporting issues that may be security related.
