What are endpoint devices?
Endpoint devices are end-user devices or servers that are registered with authentik.
There are two purposes for registration: Device authentication and Device compliance.
Devices can be registered by installing the authentik Agent which supports:
- Device compliance by reporting information about endpoint devices to authentik.
- Local device login with authentik credentials.
- Connecting via SSH to endpoint devices with authentik credentials.
- Authenticating to CLI applications such as kubectl and AWS with authentik credentials.
Alternatively, Connectors allow authentik to be integrated with third party services such as Fleet. This allows for device information to be reported to authentik for Device compliance purposes.
