dmscli get credential

Retrieves service credentials to grant DMS service access to a Lightbits cluster.

Synopsis

Bash
    
 
dmscli get credential [flags]
Copy

Attaching a new Lightbits cluster to the DMS system is a two-step process.

Step 1: Get credentials from the DMS service and add them to the Lightbits cluster:

Invoke this command from the DMS service to get a public key and the public key ID.
The Base64-encoded public key should be Base64 decoded, imported, and saved as a file on the Lightbits cluster:

Bash
    
 
echo "<base64 encoded Public Key>" | base64 -d > /tmp/pub-key.pemscp /tmp/pub-key.pem <user>@<LightbitsServer>:<FILE_PATH>rm -rf /tmp/pub-key.pem
Copy

The credentials should then be added to the cluster:

Bash
    
 
lbcli create credential --project-name=system --id=<PUB_KEY_ID> --type=rsa256pubkey <FILE_PATH>
Copy

Step 2: Attach the Lightbits cluster to the DMS system. Use the attach command providing a Lightbits cluster API endpoint address.

Example:

Bash
    
 
dmscli get credential
Copy

Flag	Short	Type	Default	Description
--help	-h	bool		Help for `credential`.

Response Type

GetServiceCredentialsResponse - Get Service Credentials Response

The response to get the service credentials for the DMS service.

Name	Type	Description
PubKeyId	string	The key ID to be used while importing the public key into the Lightbits cluster.
PubKey	string	The base64-encoded public key to be imported into the Lightbits cluster. After Base64 decoding, the contents should be saved as a file (e.g., into <FILE_PATH>) and passed as an argument to the following command to the corresponding Lightbits cluster, with <FILE_PATH> and <PUB_KEY_ID> substituted, as appropriate. lbcli create credential --project-name=system--id=<PUB_KEY_ID> --type=rsa256pubkey <FILE_PATH>
