Dex

Dex is an open-source federated OpenID Connect provider developed under the Cloud Native Computing Foundation. It sits between applications and identity sources such as LDAP, SAML, GitHub, Google, GitLab, Microsoft, and other OIDC providers, exposing those sources through a standard OIDC interface so applications do not need separate authentication integrations. Dex is distributed as a single Go binary, container, or Kubernetes deployment, with configuration, clients, storage, and connectors defined in YAML; it includes a login UI and supports Kubernetes single sign-on and local development through a mock connector. In the cited NetBird setup, Dex handles local-user authentication in the background.
