OAuth client governance for Ory Hydra

Govern every Ory Hydra OAuth client from one dashboard.

Taco connects to Ory Hydra to inventory OAuth and OpenID Connect clients, validate new client requests, control scopes and audiences, and keep an audit trail of every change.

Ory Hydra OAuth & OpenID Connect Client Management | Taco

Your Ory Hydra tenant has more OAuth clients than anyone can explain.

Every team registers its own apps. Redirect URIs drift, secrets are never rotated, and nobody remembers who owns the client with full API access. Taco brings order to Ory Hydra client management without changing how tokens are issued.

Who owns this Ory Hydra client?

Taco builds an inventory of every OAuth and OpenID Connect client in Ory Hydra, with owners, environments, and custom metadata your team can actually search.

โœ…

Anyone with console access can create a client.

Route new Ory Hydra client requests through validation and approval. Grant types, redirect URIs, and scopes are checked against your policies before the client exists.

This client should not have access to that API.

Review and restrict scopes and audiences per client, and see at a glance which applications can call your most sensitive APIs.

Ory Hydra OAuth clients

A governance layer for your Ory Hydra clients.

Taco connects to the Ory Hydra admin APIs and manages OAuth and OpenID Connect clients on your behalf: creation, updates, approvals, and reviews.

Ory Hydra keeps issuing tokens and running your authorization flows. Taco makes sure the clients it serves are the ones you actually approved.

Nothing to migrate

Existing Ory Hydra clients are imported as-is. Your apps keep their client IDs and flows.

Policy before creation

Grant types, redirect URIs, and scopes are validated before a client reaches Ory Hydra.

Full traceability

Every client change, approval, and secret rotation is recorded with who did it.

Validate clients before they reach Ory Hydra.

Teams request clients through Taco. Grant types, redirect URIs, and requested scopes are checked against your policies, and sensitive requests go to the right approver before anything is created in Ory Hydra.

A clear history for every client change.

Creations, scope changes, secret rotations, and approvals are logged with the requester and the approver. When a security review asks why a client can call an API, you have the answer.
