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 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:
Keycloak
Open-source IdP
Okta
Enterprise IdP
Auth0
Identity platform
Azure AD
Microsoft identity
Don't see your IdP listed? If it's OIDC-compliant, it works with Pony ID. Check out our IdP connection guide for configuration details.
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.
Flexible Integration Options
Choose from a ready-made user interface, a JavaScript SDK, or direct API integration.
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.
