How to Federate Identity Across Clusters

Generate quantum-safe identity tokens to access MicroStax capabilities across boundaries.

How to Federate Identity Across Clusters

MicroStax provides a centralized Sovereignty and Identity layer (Patent 13). When an AI Agent or a microservice spanning multiple regions needs to cross-authenticate securely, you must request a Federated Token.

Generating the Token

The fastest way to generate an ad-hoc token for testing or local scripting is via the VS Code interface or the CLI.

Option A: VS Code Command Palette

  1. Cmd/Ctrl + Shift + P
  2. Run MicroStax: Federate Identity Token...
  3. Select the target Environment or Cluster from the quick-pick menu.
  4. The token is instantly copied to your clipboard.

Option B: The CLI

# Verify your current scope
microstax auth verify

# Generate the federated JWT scope for a specific target
microstax auth federate --service default --target stx-eu-west-cluster

Utilizing the Token

You can now inject this JWT into the Authorization: Bearer <token> header of your API requests or provide it to the MCP Server configuration. The token utilizes short-lived Post-Quantum Cryptography handshakes to guarantee session integrity.
