This guide walks through the deployment of ZITADEL within a Cloud Container Engine (CCE) Kubernetes cluster on T Cloud Public. It covers the necessary configuration steps, from preparing the environment to running ZITADEL as a production-ready identity management service within your Kubernetes workload.
ZITADEL is an identity and access management platform designed for cloud-native environments. It implements open standards like OAuth2 and OpenID Connect to handle authentication and authorization processes in distributed applications. With a multi-tenant architecture, it supports centralized user identity management while accommodating various scenarios such as single sign-on and federated authentication. Its design facilitates integration with a wide range of web services and applications without imposing proprietary restrictions.
This guide outlines the steps required to integrate ZITADEL with the Identity and Access Management (IAM) of T Cloud Public using the SAML 2.0 standard. The objective is to configure ZITADEL as a trusted external Identity Provider (IdP), enabling federated login for OTC users and services. This setup allows your ZITADEL-managed identities to authenticate against T Cloud Public resources, forming a bridge between your custom IAM solution and the native authentication infrastructure of T Cloud Public.
