Self-Hosted Auth Manager

Centralize authentication and authorization for self-hosted services using consistent SSO and OAuth policies.

Problem

Self-hosted stacks often accumulate fragmented login systems, creating security gaps and admin overhead.

Core capabilities

• Unified identity provider for internal tools.
• Role and group mapping across services like Gitea, dashboards, and admin panels.
• MFA enforcement and session policy controls.
• Audit logs for access events and permission changes.

MVP scope

• Deploy with one identity backend and two relying-party integrations.
• Define baseline role model and default access policies.
• Add admin UI for user lifecycle management.

Success criteria

• Fewer account management tasks across services.
• Improved access consistency and security posture.

Stretch ideas

• Just-in-time privileged access workflows.
• Risk-based auth prompts based on context and device posture.
