OIDC federation

Instead of saving a long-lived secret, any workload that supports OIDC can be trusted by Nuon to fetch short-lived access tokens. You no longer need to store and rotate long-lived access tokens to access the Nuon API. This works for CI/CD pipelines, Kubernetes workloads, cloud compute, and any other trusted OIDC issuer. You control what to trust with a trust policy: which issuer to accept, which token claims to require (such as a repository, branch, service account, or cloud identity), and which role and token lifetime to grant. Manage trust policies from the OIDC federation page in the dashboard, with the CLI, or — for GitHub repositories — directly from your GitHub connection, where each repository has a Manage OIDC button that creates a trust policy prefilled with the right issuer, audience, and sub. See OIDC federation for the full model and supported providers.
