Authentication of admin user via JWT tokens
Argo CD has a built-in admin user. All other users must use Single-Sign on (SSO). Authentication to the Argo CD server always uses JSON Web Token (JWT). Admin user credentials are converted into JWT too.
It also supports automation via the /api/v1/projects/{project}/roles/{role}/token endpoint, which generates automation tokens that are issued and signed by Argo CD itself. These tokens are limited in scope and expire pretty fast.
