Hashicorp Boundary

Overview

HashiCorp Boundary is an open-source solution that provides automated, secure, and identity-based user access to hosts and services across environments. It allows centralized administration and reduces the need for distributed, long-lived credentials by providing just-in-time access.

Entitle can manage roles and groups in HashiCorp Boundary organizations.

This page will provide you with instructions on how to integrate Entitle and HashiCorp Boundary.
