Non-Human Identities Self-Hosted Instance

A Non-Human Identities Self-Hosted Instance is the only way to control machine-to-machine access without leaking secrets to third-party clouds. It gives your autonomous services, scripts, and integrated systems their own credentials, lifecycle policies, and audit trails—inside your own network. No vendor lock-in. No shadow accounts.

Machine users need to authenticate, authorize, and act exactly when intended. In a self-hosted setup, you define their scope. You revoke instantly. You store tokens and certificates in systems you own. APIs talk only to trusted non-human identities, created and managed with the same rigor as human accounts.

Running a self-hosted instance for non-human identities means:

• Full control over identity lifecycle
• On-prem or private cloud deployment
• Compliance with strict data sovereignty requirements
• No exposure to shared multi-tenant services
• Integration with existing CI/CD, Kubernetes, and automation pipelines

A secure implementation demands hardened infrastructure, monitored logs, and automated key rotation. Scalable storage for identity metadata is essential. Pair this with RBAC, policy enforcement, and mutual TLS to prevent unauthorized actions.

Deployment is straightforward: provision resources, install the identity service, connect it to your existing auth stack, and start creating non-human accounts. Each account should have unique credentials and be tied to a specific function—never shared between services. Automate onboarding and offboarding so stale accounts never linger.

Your teams can operate at full speed without sacrificing oversight. Every request, every token, every identity stays inside your controlled environment.
