The command "ibmcloud login --sso" is used to log in to IBM Cloud using a Single Sign-On (SSO) authentication method.

Here is what each part of the command means:

  • "ibmcloud" is the command-line interface (CLI) tool provided by IBM Cloud to interact with various cloud services.
  • "login" is a subcommand that allows you to authenticate and log in to your IBM Cloud account.
  • "--sso" is an option or flag that specifies the use of Single Sign-On for authentication.

When you run this command, it will prompt you to authenticate with your SSO credentials, such as your username and password. Once authenticated, you will be logged in to your IBM Cloud account using SSO, allowing you to access and manage your resources and services on the IBM Cloud platform.
