Built a lightweight Conjur OSS React UI (authenticators, policy dry-run, resources) — feedback from OSS/lab users?

[u/Easy_Present6083]

Hi all — I built a lightweight React-based admin UI for Conjur OSS and wanted to share it with the community for feedback.

I’ve worked on Conjur for ~5 years and love the product, and this project is meant to make day-to-day OSS/lab workflows easier to explore from a UI (not to replace enterprise tooling).

Current focus areas:

• Resource browsing/details
• Secrets view/update
• Group membership management
• Authenticator management (including JWT and OIDC setup flows)
• Policy load + dry-run validation with change preview

Who this is for:

• Teams using Conjur OSS directly
• Anyone exploring CyberArk Secrets Manager concepts via labs/sandboxes

What I’d love feedback on:

1. Which workflows are most painful today in OSS/labs?
2. What’s missing for authenticator setup/testing?
3. What would make this immediately useful in your lab environment?

If there’s interest, I can post a short walkthrough and testing examples (including JWT public key/JWKS patterns).

Repo includes screenshots of key workflows.

Project update: v1.0.0 is now out!

Since the original post, I’ve added password authentication alongside API keys.

Next up: password changing, API key rotation, policy load responses to make it easier to retrieve initial API keys when loading users, and a README walkthrough for running the UI alongside a Conjur lab.

Also, apparently a lot more people saw this than I expected 😅 Thanks to everyone who checked it out!

Feedback and suggestions are always welcome.
