What is Pony ID?

Enterprise-grade identity management that seamlessly connects humans to workflow tasks

SSO-Powered User Tasks

Connect humans to tasks in your workflows using single sign-on. Includes a fully-featured UI for User Tasks built directly into the LittleHorse Kernel.

Governance & Escalations

Manage groups and permissions for humans in your workflows. Enable governance controls and human-in-the-loop escalations with fine-grained access management.

Your IdP or Ours

Bring your own OIDC-compliant identity provider, or use our built-in Keycloak-based solution. Full flexibility to work with your existing identity infrastructure.

How It Works

Pony ID / User Tasks Bridge Architecture

Pony ID provides enterprise-grade identity management for LittleHorse workflows. Connect your existing IdP and start assigning tasks to users immediately.

Get Started with Pony ID

0. Choose an IdP

Bring your own OIDC-compliant identity provider (Okta, Auth0, Azure AD, etc.) or use our hassle-free IdP solution based on Keycloak. Pony ID works with any OIDC provider, giving you flexibility in how you manage identity.

1. Run Workflows with User Tasks

Run workflows in the LittleHorse Kernel with User Tasks. Pony ID connects humans to tasks in your workflows using SSO, providing a fully-featured UI for User Tasks in the LH Kernel.

2. Let Users Execute Tasks Anywhere

Your users can execute tasks wherever they are. Use the Pony ID Console portal for a ready-made experience, or integrate user tasks directly into your own frontend application using our JavaScript SDK or API.

Works with Your Identity Provider

Pony ID supports any OpenID Connect (OIDC) compliant Identity Provider. Connect your existing IdP and start assigning tasks to authenticated users immediately.

While we support all OIDC-compliant providers, here are some of the most popular ones we see in production:

Solving Identity for Workflow User Tasks

The open source LittleHorse workflow engine does not natively support user identity or authentication. If you want to assign tasks to real users and connect your Identity Provider (IdP) to LittleHorse, you would have to build and maintain a separate application.

The Challenge

Without native identity support, connecting workflows to real users requires building custom integration code for each Identity Provider, adding complexity and maintenance overhead to your system.

The Solution

Pony ID provides a ready-made, enterprise-grade solution for integrating your IdP with LittleHorse user tasks, eliminating the need for custom integration code.

How It Works

Pony ID acts as a bridge between LittleHorse Server (which has no native identity support) and your Identity Provider (Keycloak, Okta, Auth0, Azure AD, etc.).

It handles OIDC authentication flows and manages user task assignments, allowing you to connect workflows to real users without building custom integration code.

Security & Compliance

User Tasks Bridge is SOC 2 compliant and designed for enterprise security. Your users authenticate with your existing IdP. There is no need to manage separate credentials.

All data is handled according to industry best practices, and the solution can be deployed anywhere: cloud, on-prem, or hybrid.

Key Benefits for Software Teams

You can integrate human approvals and reviews into automated workflows. User Tasks Bridge allows you to connect any OIDC-compliant identity provider, and we also support custom adapters for other systems.

Deploy Anywhere

The solution can be deployed anywhere, and we offer flexible support options to meet your needs.

Focus on Business Logic

With User Tasks Bridge, your team can focus on business logic instead of building authentication and user management from scratch.
