SSO Human Identity Enforcement

Shared database credentials are an audit liability: when five engineers share the same app_user connection, there is no way to determine who ran a query. Safe Boundary maps each engineer's verified SSO identity to the database connection, so every query is logged under a real human identity — with no Postgres extensions and no changes to how engineers work.

OAuth 2.0 / OIDC device flow for database access

Engineers authenticate through your existing identity provider using the standard device flow — the same flow used for CLI tools and developer utilities. Safe Boundary verifies the token, maps the identity to an authorized Postgres role, and opens the connection on the engineer's behalf.

No shared service accounts in the query log

Every SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, and DELETE issued by a human engineer is attributed to their verified SSO identity in the audit log. When an auditor asks who accessed the payments table on a given date, you have a precise answer — not a shared credential name.

Works with any OIDC-compatible identity provider

Safe Boundary integrates with any identity provider that supports OAuth 2.0 / OIDC — including Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace, and Auth0. There is no proprietary authentication agent to deploy and no Postgres extension required on the database side.

Access is gated by policy, not by connection string knowledge

An engineer's ability to connect does not depend on knowing a password. Access is gated by their presence in the identity provider, their group memberships, and the policies defined in Safe Boundary. Offboarding a developer in your IdP removes their database access automatically.

Replace shared database credentials with verified SSO identity — set up Safe Boundary in your environment today.
