Repetitive account creation
The same user accounts need to be created on every server, across all cloud providers.
Centralized Authentication for Servers
Centralized Linux & Windows User Management, Every Cloud, One Interface
Teams running servers across AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean, and other providers usually end up creating the same user accounts separately on every machine. Centralized Authentication manages Linux and Windows users across all of these servers from a single interface, so the same user account works consistently on every connected server, and onboarding your infrastructure is a job of a few minutes rather than a lengthy setup.

Overview
What Is Centralized Authentication?
Centralized authentication lets you manage Linux and Windows users across all your connected servers from a single interface, regardless of the cloud provider.
It gives you one place to control access, apply users to servers, and keep your infrastructure secure and consistent.

Why It Matters
Why Managing Users Server by Server Slows Teams Down
When user accounts are managed independently across machines and cloud providers, repetitive setup and inconsistent access quickly become an operational burden.
02
Inconsistent access
Permissions and access levels vary between servers and providers, making changes harder to keep consistent.
03
No shared view
It’s hard to see who has access to what, across your entire infrastructure.
04
Provider silos
Each cloud provider has its own console, users and access model.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this provide single sign-on for all my servers?+
Centralized Authentication manages Linux and Windows server users from one interface; it is focused on server-level access rather than cloud console SSO.
Can I manage both Linux and Windows users?+
Yes. Centralized Authentication is designed to manage users across both Linux and Windows servers from the same interface.
Do I need to set up cloud IAM roles?+
Cloud IAM and console permissions remain separate. Centralized Authentication focuses on server-level user access.
Is it compatible with all cloud providers?+
AWS, Azure, GCP, DigitalOcean and other connected cloud providers can be managed from the central interface.
