Command: `boundary authenticate password`
|
|
|
|
The `authenticate password` command lets you invoke the password auth method to
|
|
authenticate the Boundary CLI.
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Examples
|
|
|
|
The following example authenticates the Boundary CLI using the password auth method and specifying the username:
|
|
|
|
```shell-session
|
|
$ boundary authenticate password -login-name user1
|
|
Please enter the password (it will be hidden): <password>
|
|
|
|

|

### Command options
|
|
|
|
- `-auth-method-id` `(string: "")` - The auth-method resource you want to use for the
|
|
authentication.
|
|
You can also specify the auth method resource using the **BOUNDARY_AUTH_METHOD_ID** environment variable.
|
|
|
|
- `-login-name` `(string: "")` - A login name that corresponds to an account
|
|
within the given auth method.
|
|
You can also specify a login name using the **BOUNDARY_AUTHENTICATE_PASSWORD_LOGIN_NAME** environment variable.
|
|
|
|
- `-password` `(string: "")` - The password that is associated with the login name.
|
|
If this value is blank, the command prompts you to enter the password interactively
|
|
in a non-echoing way. Otherwise, this value can refer to a file on disk (`file://`)
|
|
from which a password is read or an environment variable (`env://`) from which the
|
|
password is read. You can also specify the password using the
|
|
**BOUNDARY_AUTHENTICATE_PASSWORD_PASSWORD** environment variable.
|
|
|
|
- `-scope-id` `(string: "")` - The scope ID to use for the operation. You can also specify the scope ID using the **BOUNDARY_SCOPE_ID** environment variable.
