[← All articles](/blog/) Article # Why OIDC integration in Gluesync 2.2.7 is a game-changer for enterprise data security 15 Jun 2026 [Gluesync](/blog/?category=gluesync) 2 min read Gluesync 2.2.7 introduces native OIDC integration.  Managing distributed data replication pipelines brings a hidden challenge. Infrastructure teams know this problem as identity fragmentation. Deploying new nodes or onboarding team members requires credential management. Consequently, handling isolated accounts creates operational risks and compliance liabilities. However, with [**Gluesync 2.2.7**](https://molo17.com/blog/gluesync-2-2-7-oidc-rbac-security-ui-update/), we have eliminated this friction by embedding native support for **OpenID Connect (OIDC)** directly into the core engine. ## Moving beyond local credentials Until now, securing access to streaming pipelines meant relying on local account databases for each console. In highly regulated environments, this architecture creates extra work. Therefore, security teams must manually audit individual configurations to ensure compliance. As a result, by integrating OIDC, Gluesync 2.2.7 shifts authentication to your trusted corporate Identity Provider (**IdP**), whether it is Microsoft Entra ID, Okta, Keycloak or Ping Identity. ## How it works: token-based security & RBAC alignment The OIDC implementation in Gluesync is designed to strictly adhere to enterprise security guardrails: - **Federated Single Sign-On (SSO)**: Users authenticate via their standard corporate portal. Gluesync never receives, handles, or persists user passwords. - **Cryptographically signed JSON Web Tokens (JWT)**: The Gluesync engine relies entirely on short-lived, secure tokens issued by your identity provider to grant and validate session access. - **Granular Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)**: Authentication is tightly coupled with authorization. Consequently, Gluesync automatically maps corporate group memberships to internal roles (such as Viewer, Operator, or Administrator) upon first login.  ## The business impact for CISO and infrastructure teams Organizations in sectors like banking or healthcare face strict compliance rules. Therefore, this update turns data replication security from a manual checklist into an automated policy. By offloading identity management to your central IdP, Gluesync instantly inherits your enterprise security posture. Features like **Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA), conditional access policies and centralized password rotation are enforced automatically**, without requiring any custom configuration or infrastructure workarounds within the data pipeline itself. ## Streamline your architecture Security shouldn’t slow down data velocity. With Gluesync 2.2.7, enterprise teams get the best of both worlds: sub-45ms real-time data replication backed by standard, centralized identity governance.
