authd: an authentication daemon for cloud identity providers

Code quality License Code coverage Go Report Card Reference documentation

Documentation Status

authd is an authentication daemon for cloud-based identity providers. It helps ensure the secure management of identity and access for Ubuntu machines anywhere in the world, on desktop and the server. authd's modular design makes it a versatile authentication service that can integrate with multiple identity providers. MS Entra ID and Google Cloud's Identity and Access Management are currently supported and several other identity providers are under active development.

Documentation

To find out more about using authd, refer to the official authd documentation. If you are on an edge release then you can also read the edge version of the documentation, which may include features not yet available in the stable release.

The documentation includes how-to guides on installing and configuring authd, in addition to information about authd architecture and troubleshooting.

Brokers

authd uses brokers to interface with cloud identity providers through a DBus API.

Currently MS Entra ID and Google IAM are supported as identity providers. They allow you to authenticate using MFA and the device authentication flow.

For development purposes, authd also provides an example broker to help you develop your own.
