The format of the login command depends on whether you are a user in the Cloud Manager admin organization, or you
are a user in a provider organization.
If you are a
Cloud Manager admin
user, enter the following
command:
apic login --server mgmt_endpoint_url --username user_id --password password --realm admin/identity_provider
If you are a provider organization user, enter the following
command:
apic login --server mgmt_endpoint_url --username user_id --password password --realm provider/identity_provider
If you want to log in as a member of the cloud
administration organization, or as a member of a provider organization, you can help determine which
identity provider to use in the
--realm parameter by entering the following command
to see a list of all available identity providers (you do not need to be logged in to use this
command):
apic identity-providers:list --scope scope --server mgmt_endpoint_url --fields title,realm
where
scope has the value
admin or
provider depending
on whether you want to log in as a member of the cloud administration organization, or as a member
of a provider organization. The output lists the names and titles of all identity providers, for example:
apic identity-providers:list --scope admin --server myserver.com --fields title,realm
total_results: 2
results:
- title: Cloud Manager User Registry
realm: admin/default-idp-1
- title: Corporate LDAP user registry
realm: admin/corporate-ldap
The title value should enable you to determine which
identity provider to use; you can then copy the corresponding --realm parameter
directly from the displayed realm value. For any identity providers that were
created by your administrator after
API Connect was installed,
the names will have been determined at creation time. The default Cloud Manager Local User Registry
for login as a member of the cloud administration organization is
default-idp-1,
and the default API Manager Local User Registry for login as a member of a provider organization is
default-idp-2.
For full details of the apic login command, see Logging in to a management
server.
Note: If the same user registry is used for both the Cloud Manager and API
Manager user interfaces, and
you have access to both, when you remove yourself from the user registry you will lose access to
both user interfaces regardless of which organization you log in to.
