Persona Story:
Morgan, the security & compliance lead, needs teams to obtain API tokens and keys from an internal gateway rather than directly from 3rd-party service providers.
Problem Context
- Teams currently obtain credentials directly from 3rd-party API providers
- No central visibility into what credentials exist or who has them
- Credential rotation, revocation, and audit are difficult when credentials are distributed
Problem Impact
- Security risk from untracked, unmanaged credentials across the organization
- Unable to enforce credential policies consistently
- Compliance gaps when credentials can’t be audited or revoked centrally
Naftiko Today
- External bindings for secrets, tokens, and environment variables decouple credentials from capability specs, enabling centralized credential storage and injection
- Auth support with Bearer tokens, API keys, header injection, and secret binding provides a consistent credential management interface across all capabilities
- Capability specs declare auth requirements explicitly in YAML, making credential usage auditable and reviewable across the organization
- Docker-native deployment supports integration with container secret management (Docker secrets, environment injection) for centralized credential delivery
Naftiko Tomorrow
- API token refresh (May 2026) would automate credential rotation for capabilities consuming 3rd-party APIs
- MCP auth support (May 2026) would extend centralized credential management to agent-facing MCP endpoints
- Enterprise security with Keycloak and OpenFGA (Dec 2026) would provide IDP-backed credential management with fine-grained access policies
- Enhanced auth patterns (Beta) would expand the range of centrally managed authentication methods
