Add Enterprise SSO to Internal Apps. Block Zero-Day Exploits — Without Code Changes.
PumaGate's authenticated reverse proxy adds SAML/OIDC Single Sign-On to Jenkins, Grafana, GitLab, Kibana, SonarQube, and any app that supports HTTP header authentication. Every request is identity-verified. Every zero-day is shielded. Deploy in minutes.
SSO via HTTP Header Authentication — In 3 Steps
Many internal apps (Jenkins, Grafana, GitLab, etc.) natively support HTTP header authentication. PumaGate leverages this to add enterprise SSO without touching the application.
User Hits PumaGate
Instead of accessing the app directly, users connect through PumaGate's authenticated proxy. PumaGate redirects unauthenticated users to your corporate IdP (Okta, Azure AD, Google Workspace).
IdP Authenticates + MFA
Your Identity Provider handles authentication — SAML 2.0 or OIDC. MFA is enforced (Duo, FIDO2, push notifications). PumaGate validates the signed assertion.
Header Injected, App Trusts
PumaGate injects the authenticated identity via HTTP headers (X-Forwarded-User, REMOTE_USER, etc.). The app trusts the header and creates a session — no app-side login page.
Your Internal Apps Are One CVE Away from Compromise
Jenkins, Confluence, GitLab, and Kibana have all had critical zero-day vulnerabilities exploited in the wild. PumaGate shields your apps by ensuring no unauthenticated traffic ever reaches them.
Frequent CVEs
Internal apps like Jenkins and Confluence average 10+ critical CVEs per year. Each one is a door for attackers.
Slow Patching
Enterprise patch cycles take weeks or months. During the gap, every exposed app is vulnerable to active exploitation.
Network Exposure
Many internal apps are reachable from the corporate network or VPN. Any compromised endpoint can exploit them.
Active Exploitation
Nation-state actors and ransomware groups actively target Confluence, GitLab, and Jenkins as initial access vectors.
How PumaGate Blocks Zero-Day Exploitation
No Direct Access
Apps only accept connections from PumaGate. Attackers cannot reach the app directly, even from the internal network.
Identity-First
Every request must carry a valid, IdP-verified identity. No anonymous requests reach the application process.
Request Inspection
PumaGate inspects requests before proxying. Malformed or suspicious requests are blocked before reaching the app.
Patch Safely
Take time to test patches. PumaGate shields the app from exploitation during the patch window.

Why Teams Choose PumaGate for Internal App Security
PumaGate delivers immediate security improvements and operational savings — SSO simplifies access, and the authenticated proxy blocks threats before they reach your apps.
Block Zero-Day Exploits
Unauthenticated attackers cannot reach your apps. CVEs in Jenkins, Confluence, GitLab, and others are unexploitable without first passing PumaGate's identity verification.
Eliminate Password Sprawl
One corporate credential for every internal app. No separate Jenkins, Grafana, GitLab, or Jira passwords. Reduce password reset tickets by 90%.
Enterprise MFA Everywhere
Enforce your IdP's MFA policies (Duo, FIDO2, biometrics) for every internal app — even apps with no native MFA support. One policy, all applications.
Instant Deprovisioning
Disable a user in your IdP and access to all internal apps stops immediately. No orphan accounts in Jenkins, Grafana, GitLab, or any other tool.
Unified Audit Trail
Every internal app access event appears in one audit log — with IdP context, MFA status, device info, location, and optional session recording.
Save on App Licensing
PumaGate provides enterprise SSO to open-source tools (Grafana OSS, GitLab CE, SonarQube Community) — no need for expensive enterprise editions just for SSO.
PumaGate vs. Direct App Exposure
See what changes when you put PumaGate's authenticated proxy in front of your internal applications.
| Capability | With PumaGate | Without PumaGate |
|---|---|---|
| Zero-Day Protection | Unauthenticated attacks blocked | App directly exploitable |
| SSO (SAML/OIDC) | Via HTTP header injection | Per-app configuration required |
| MFA Enforcement | From IdP (Duo, FIDO2, etc.) | Basic TOTP or none |
| Centralized Audit Trail | All apps in one log | Fragmented per-app logs |
| Session Recording | Built-in | Not available |
| Instant Deprovisioning | Via IdP disable | Manual per-app cleanup |
| Code Changes Needed | None | Per-app SSO plugins/config |
| Patch Urgency | Reduced (shielded by proxy) | Critical (directly exposed) |
We had Jenkins, Grafana, GitLab, and SonarQube — each with their own login pages, their own passwords, and their own CVE patch schedules. PumaGate unified authentication across all four in an afternoon, and we sleep better knowing that zero-days can't be exploited remotely anymore.

Authenticated Reverse Proxy for Internal Applications
PumaGate adds SAML 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) Single Sign-On to internal applications that support HTTP header authentication. Applications like Jenkins, Grafana, GitLab, Kibana, SonarQube, Jira Data Center, Confluence Data Center, pgAdmin, Rundeck, Harbor, Zabbix, Nexus Repository, and Wiki.js can be secured with enterprise SSO without code changes.
How HTTP Header Authentication Works
Many web applications support trusting a pre-authenticated user identity from a reverse proxy via HTTP headers such as X-Forwarded-User, REMOTE_USER, X-WEBAUTH-USER, and X-Forwarded-Login. PumaGate authenticates users via SAML/OIDC and injects these headers, providing seamless SSO.
Zero-Day Protection via Authenticated Proxy
By placing PumaGate in front of internal applications, organizations ensure that no unauthenticated traffic reaches the application. This shields applications from network-based zero-day exploits, which require unauthenticated access to exploit. CVEs in Jenkins, Confluence, GitLab, and other applications become unexploitable by remote attackers.
