Can someone point me to the "approved" method of integrating Kratos with Hydra create an OAuth/OpenID identity system? Explicit documentation and examples of this are curiously missing, and while other community members have worked this out, it seems that Ory itself has never provided any real guidance (as far as I know). It seems obvious that these two products would work together, so it seems a bit weird that they don't in some easy way (unless I am missing something).

There is some WIP already https://github.com/ory/kratos/pull/2549

Awesome...this is by far the GREATEST frustration I have had with an otherwise nice suite of products. I am using self-hosted Ory for ALL my clients and customers--even based the identity system for my own product on your suite, so I believe in it, but this one thing has been truly a sore point of pain, since my microservice architectures all need JWT's, and there are only two ways to get one to pass to microservices--from Hydra via consent or Oathkeeper with mutators (which doesn't seem to always work). Inside Kubernetes, I have stopped using Oathkeeper and gone to Istio, but I still need a JWT from somewhere. When will this pull be integrated in the base, and is there any documentation or examples on how this would work to read anywhere, @steep-lamp-91158?

I am not quite sure, maybe @able-glass-7253 @fast-lunch-54279 or @famous-art-85498 know a bit more

Thanks, @steep-lamp-91158...would love to hear from @able-glass-7253 @fast-lunch-54279 or @famous-art-85498...also, while this might not be the thread, I am trying to migrate existing users (50,000 of them) from a home grown system to Ory Kratos/Hydra and there is no clean import mechanism. Any suggestions there? There are 20,000 daily active users of the app, so it is essential to have minimal disruption and impact.

you can import identities even with credentials in Kratos: https://www.ory.sh/docs/guides/manage-identities/import-identity for Hydra it depends on what you want to import and what a "disruption" means

Hi Travis, I am aware that this is a feature that many have requested, and can assure you that it is a top priority for us. The documentation and examples for this feature will be included in the PR linked by Patrik once it is completed.
