Getting an IBM entitlement API key

To get access to the Decision Intelligence Client Managed Software images from the IBM® Entitled Registry, you must have your IBM entitlement API key.

1. Log in to Container software library on My IBM with the IBMid and password that are associated with the entitled software.
2. On the Get entitlement key tab, select Copy key to copy the entitlement key to the clipboard.
   You need this key to create a Docker pull secret that is named ibm-entitlement-key into the namespace where you install Decision Intelligence, so that images can be pulled from the entitled registry. You can create it by using the following command:

   kubectl create secret docker-registry ibm-entitlement-key \
                         --namespace <ads-namespace> \
                         --docker-server=cp.icr.io \
                         --docker-username=cp \
                         --docker-password=<entitlement-key>

3. If you plan to use the OpenShift Container Platform console to install, then you must create the secrets that you need in the appropriate namespaces.
