Github Auth Method

[AlyRagab]

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Looking forward of supporting Github Auth Method like what is implemented in Vault exactly. I did not see it in the documentation for that it will be nice to have.

Explain any additional use-cases

Supporting Enabling Github as an Auth Method like Vault will make access permissions to Boundary easy and flexible to implement

Thanks for the request @AlyRagab! We will keep this feature request open to gauge interest in a native Github auth method for Boundary.

As a workaround, Vault (as of v1.9) can act as an Open ID Connect provider and offer many of its auth methods to authenticate Boundary (or other OIDC client application) users. In practice, this effectively means Boundary users could authenticate with a Vault github auth method. You can read more about Vault's OIDC auth workflows with Boundary in our tutorial here.
