An open-source secrets management and machine identity solution for securing privileged access in modern infrastructure.
Conjur is an open-source secrets management and application identity platform that automatically secures secrets used by privileged users and machine identities. It provides a centralized system to manage access policies, store encrypted secrets, and integrate with cloud infrastructure and DevOps toolchains. The platform solves the problem of securely handling sensitive credentials in dynamic, automated environments.
DevOps engineers, platform teams, and security professionals managing cloud-native infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and containerized applications who need robust secrets management and machine identity solutions.
Developers choose Conjur for its open-source nature, strong security model with industry-standard cryptography, seamless integration into existing toolchains, and ability to self-host for full control over sensitive data. Its role-based access policy language (MAML) provides fine-grained control over permissions.

Open-Awesome is built by the community, for the community. Submit a project, suggest an awesome list, or help improve the catalog on GitHub.
Uses AES-256-GCM and RSA encryption verified by a professional audit, ensuring high security for stored secrets and keys as detailed in the README.
Seamlessly integrates with IaaS, CI/CD, and container platforms like Kubernetes, fitting directly into modern toolchains without disruption.
Supports built-in and custom authenticators and rotators, allowing automated secret updates and tailored access control via policy files.
Operates multiple separate accounts within the same database instance, ideal for large organizations or service providers managing diverse teams.
Requires Docker, PostgreSQL, and careful management of the CONJUR_DATA_KEY; losing this key makes encrypted data unrecoverable, adding operational risk.
Uses Machine Authorization Markup Language (MAML) for access control, which can be difficult to master without prior experience in role-based systems.
Critical setup and usage guides are hosted externally on Conjur docs, leading to potential inconsistencies and reliance on multiple sources.
