Pinniped hopes to enable this access across a wide range of Kubernetes environments with zero configuration. Pinniped is composed of three parts. The Pinniped Supervisor is an OIDC server which allows users to authenticate with external identity providers (IDP), and then issues its own federation ID tokens to be passed on to clusters based on the user information from the IDP.
