Use cases

Secure network access with auto-generated, short-lived credentials

Secure access for users and applications based on user identity and role

Simplify, secure, and streamline remote SSH access based on a user’s identity through your IDP. Remote user access is provided only to machines authorized by administrators rather than the entire network. Automated time-bound credentials on the remote users’ behalf provide a seamless and passwordless experience.
