Single sign-on (SSO) simplifies access for human users across an organization’s approved applications. Federated identity (FI) management connects users across organizational boundaries.
Service accounts are indispensable, but their security weaknesses make them the most attractive target in enterprise environments.
This update gives every Jenkins job a real identity and automated short-lived access so teams can retire static secrets without changing how their pipelines run.
