Users & Access Management

DockNimbus supports multiple users with API key and JWT authentication.

Create a user

nimbus iam create-user --username developer

Add --admin for admin privileges.

Generate API keys

nimbus iam create-key --user-id USER_ID

This returns an access key and secret key for HMAC authentication.

Password and JWT login

# Set a password for a user
nimbus iam set-password --user-id USER_ID --password <password>

# Login to get a JWT token
nimbus iam login --username developer --password <password>

The login command outputs a NIMBUS_TOKEN export command. JWT tokens are valid for 1 hour.

Get a token via HMAC

If already configured with API keys:

nimbus iam get-token
