Managing users in Hybrid Manager

The Hybrid Manager uses Dex for user authentication in the Console, acting as a proxy between the Hybrid Manager and any native users or external user management systems (Identity Providers or IdPs) like LDAP and SAML.

During the initial bootstraping of the Hybrid Manager, an administrator sets up a native super-user for Console access. Use this native super-user to sign in to the Console for the first time.

For testing or demo environments, you can simplify operations by adding more native users as needed.

For production deployments, we strongly recommend configuring an external IdP like LDAP, SAML, or another supported connector. This ensures robust and secure user management. After configuring your chosen IdP and adding new administrators for the organization, you should disable the native user login.

Managing native users

Create and manage additional native users for testing purposes. Or remove native users after configuring an IdP.

Configuring IdPs

Configure identity providers to manage your organization's users in production environments.

Applying modifications

Apply modifications to the Dex configuration to reconciliate any changes to user-related parameters.
