Pinniped CLI

Pinniped CLI is an open-source, lightweight command-line tool designed to provide secure, identity-based authentication for Kubernetes clusters. It enables users to authenticate using external identity providers such as OIDC, LDAP, and enterprise SSO systems without storing long-lived credentials in kubeconfig files.

Features of Pinniped CLI:

• Secure Kubernetes authentication using short-lived credentials.
• Integration with external identity providers (OIDC, LDAP, SSO).
• No static tokens or certificates stored in kubeconfig.
• Client-side standalone binary with minimal dependencies.
• Seamless integration with kubectl for cluster access.
