Summary

Tailscale has introduced support for custom OpenID Connect (OIDC) providers, currently in beta, to accommodate organizations with unique identity management needs that extend beyond its existing integrations with major identity providers like Google and Microsoft Azure AD. This update allows businesses to authenticate users using any OIDC-compliant provider, enhancing security and user experience by enabling single sign-on and multi-factor authentication without additional passwords. Organizations can leverage free or self-hosted providers on the Starter plan, and advanced options on Premium and Enterprise plans, with the flexibility to use custom OIDC providers for up to three users on the Free plan. Tailscale is actively validating and documenting popular identity providers, including integrations with Ory and ZITADEL, which are designed to enhance security and user management in line with compliance and access control requirements. Additionally, Tailscale supports free and open-source identity solutions for non-critical uses or personal projects, and offers detailed documentation for setting up custom OIDC, while encouraging feedback for potential new integrations.
