Authentication

Login

Most KICS features required an authenticated session on a KICS Platform server. E.g:

  • Creation and management of applications and data types
  • Deployment of applications on Nodes
  • Retrieval of historical time series data

This can be achieved through the following command:

kelvin auth login <sub-domain>.kelvininc.com

Type your username, password and the 2-Factor authentication token:

Enter your username: john@example.com
Enter your password: <type your password>
Enter 2 Factor Authentication (2FA) one-time password (blank if not required): <type your 2FA token>

Logout

To logout from an existing session:

kelvin auth logout

Retrieve Auth Token

For advanced users, you can retrieve the authentication token for the current session using the following command:

kelvin auth token

Additional options such as --full and --margin are available and allow the user to, respectively, get the full token and set the minimum expiry time of the token.
