DigitalOcean Kubernetes (DOKS) now supports single sign-on (SSO) with OIDC in public preview. You can authenticate users to your Kubernetes clusters through an identity provider like Auth0, JumpCloud, Keycloak, or Okta, instead of using token-based authentication.
SSO is configured per cluster with an issuer URL and client ID from your identity provider. You can enable it using doctl.
