A federated OpenID Connect provider that connects to other identity providers through connectors, enabling authentication for applications without handling passwords directly. Dex acts as a portal to other identity providers through connectors, making it easy to implement SSO across multiple providers. Dex is a single Go binary with pluggable storage and ships with a gRPC management API (api/v2/api.proto) for managing OAuth2 clients, passwords, connectors, and refresh tokens, alongside the standard set of OIDC endpoints.
