+intro: Use OpenID Connect within your workflows to authenticate with Docker without storing long-lived credentials.

+
+## Overview
+
+OpenID Connect (OIDC) allows your {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflows to authenticate with [Docker](https://www.docker.com/) to access Docker Hub and Docker Build Cloud without storing Docker passwords, {% data variables.product.pat_generic_plural %}, or organization access tokens (OATs) in {% data variables.product.company_short %}.
+
+Instead of managing long-lived credentials, you configure a trust relationship between your {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} organization and your Docker organization. When a workflow runs, {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} issues a short-lived OIDC token that Docker validates against your configured rulesets, then issues a scoped access token for the workflow.
+
+This guide gives an overview of how to configure Docker to trust {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %}'s OIDC as a federated identity, and demonstrates how to use this configuration in a {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflow.
+
+For more information, see [OIDC connections](https://docs.docker.com/enterprise/security/oidc-connections/) in the Docker documentation.
+
+## Prerequisites

+{% data reusables.actions.oidc-security-notice %}
+
+{% data reusables.actions.oidc-on-ghecom %}
+
+* Your Docker organization must use Docker Business, Docker Team, or Docker Hardened Images, or be enrolled in the Docker Sponsored Open Source Program.
+* You must be an organization owner or editor in your Docker organization.
+* You must plan which repositories, branches, and workflows need access to Docker, and configure rulesets accordingly.
+
+## Adding the identity provider to Docker
+
+To use OIDC with Docker, establish a trust relationship between {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} and Docker by creating an OIDC connection. For more information about this process, see [Create and manage OIDC connections](https://docs.docker.com/security/authentication/oidc-connections/create-manage/) in the Docker documentation.
+
+1. Sign in to [Docker Home](https://app.docker.com/) and navigate to your organization.
+1. Go to **Identity & auth** > **OIDC connections**.
+1. Select **Create OIDC connection**.
+1. Configure at least one ruleset to define which {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} repositories, branches, or workflows can authenticate. Each ruleset specifies:
+   * **Rules**: Conditions matched against OIDC token claims (repository, branch, workflow path). Wildcard patterns like `repo:my-org/*` are supported.
+   * **Resources**: Docker Hub repositories or Docker Build Cloud projects the workflow can access.
+   * **Scopes**: Permission levels (`read`, `write`).
+1. Save the connection and copy the **connection ID** for use in your workflow.
+
+## Updating your {% data variables.product.prodname_actions %} workflow
+
+Once you have created an OIDC connection in Docker, update your workflow to authenticate using the [`docker/login-action`](https://github.com/docker/login-action) action.
+
+The following example uses the placeholder `YOUR-CONNECTION-ID` for the connection ID you copied from Docker, and `YOUR-DOCKER-ORG` for your Docker organization name.
+
+```yaml
+{% data reusables.actions.actions-not-certified-by-github-comment %}
+permissions:
+  id-token: write
+  contents: read
+
+jobs:
+  build:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest
+    steps:
+      - name: Check out repository
+        uses: {% data reusables.actions.action-checkout %}
+
+      - name: Sign in to Docker Hub with OIDC
+        uses: docker/login-action@abd2ef45e78c5afb21d64d4ca52ee8550d9572c7 # v4.5.1
+        with:
+          username: YOUR-DOCKER-ORG
+        env:
+          DOCKERHUB_OIDC_CONNECTIONID: YOUR-CONNECTION-ID
+
+      - name: Build and push
+        uses: docker/build-push-action@10e90e3645eae34f1e60eeb005ba3a3d33f178e8 # v6
+        with:
+          push: true
+          tags: YOUR-DOCKER-ORG/my-image:latest
+```
+
+### Key workflow settings
+
+* **`permissions.id-token: write`** is required so that {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} can issue an OIDC token for the workflow.
+* The `docker/login-action` handles the OIDC token exchange and Docker login in a single step when `DOCKERHUB_OIDC_CONNECTIONID` is set and `password` is omitted.
+* The `username` field should be your Docker organization name.
+
+### Subject claim matching
+
+Docker evaluates the `sub` claim from the {% data variables.product.prodname_dotcom %} OIDC token against the rulesets you configured. The default subject claim format is:
+
+```text
+repo:<owner>/<repo>:ref:refs/heads/<branch>
+```
+
+> [!NOTE]
+> Repositories created after July 15, 2026, and repository renames or transfers after that date, use an immutable default OIDC `sub` claim that includes owner and repository IDs. Existing repositories keep the previous format unless they opt in. For more information, see [AUTOTITLE](/actions/reference/security/oidc#immutable-subject-claims).
+
+Different workflow triggers produce different subject claims. For example:
+
+| Trigger | Subject claim format |
+|---------|---------------------|
+| Branch push | `repo:my-org/my-repo:ref:refs/heads/main` |
+| Pull request | `repo:my-org/my-repo:pull_request` |
+| Tag | `repo:my-org/my-repo:ref:refs/tags/v1.0` |
+| Environment | `repo:my-org/my-repo:environment:production` |
+
+You can use wildcard patterns in your rulesets to match multiple repositories or branches. For legacy subject claims, `repo:my-org/*` matches all repositories in the organization. For immutable subject claims, use `repo:my-org@OWNER-ID/*`; if the organization contains repositories using both formats, configure both patterns.
+
+For more information, see [Rulesets and subject claims](https://docs.docker.com/security/authentication/oidc-connections/rulesets-claims/) in the Docker documentation.
