# authenticate
Command: `boundary authenticate`
The `authenticate` command authenticates the Boundary command line client using the auth method that you specify.
## Examples
The following example authenticates the Boundary CLI using a configured OIDC auth method where the auth method ID is `amoidc_q7jAdI1QgA`:
```shell-session
$ boundary authenticate oidc -auth-method-id amoidc_q7jAdI1QgA
```
**Example output:**
<CodeBlockConfig hideClipboard>
```plaintext
Opening returned authentication URL in your browser...
Authentication information:
Account ID: acctoidc_oztPFBFesH
Auth Method ID: amoidc_oHt4HQFCrN
Expiration Time: Thu, 13 May 2021 17:01:11 MDT
User ID: u_JCRQP3ID7l
The token was successfully stored in the chosen keyring and is not displayed here.
```
</CodeBlockConfig>
## Usage

```shell-session
