ibmcloud-login: Log in with an API key, passing it as a file.
$ ibmcloud login --apikey @${path-to-api_key_file}
try on your machine
The command "ibmcloud login --apikey @${path-to-api_key_file}" is used to login to the IBM Cloud using an API key stored in a file.
Here's a breakdown of each part of the command:
- "ibmcloud login": This is the command to initiate the login process to the IBM Cloud.
- "--apikey": This flag specifies that the authentication method will be an API key.
- "@${path-to-api_key_file}": This part of the command is the path to the file where the API key is stored. The "@" symbol indicates that the API key will be read from the specified file.
To use this command, you need to replace "${path-to-api_key_file}" with the actual path to the file containing your API key. Once executed, the CLI (Command Line Interface) will attempt to authenticate you using the provided API key, and upon successful authentication, you will be logged in to the IBM Cloud.
