confluent login¶
Description¶
Confluent Cloud:
Log in to Confluent Cloud using your email and password, or using single sign-on (SSO) credentials.
Email and password login can be accomplished non-interactively using the CONFLUENT_CLOUD_EMAIL
and CONFLUENT_CLOUD_PASSWORD
environment variables.
Email and password can also be stored locally for non-interactive re-authentication with the --save
flag.
SSO login can be accomplished headlessly using the --no-browser
flag, but non-interactive login is not natively supported. Authentication tokens last 8 hours and are automatically refreshed with CLI client usage. If the client is not used for more than 8 hours, you have to log in again.
Log in to a specific Confluent Cloud organization using the --organization-id
flag, or by setting the environment variable CONFLUENT_CLOUD_ORGANIZATION_ID
.
Confluent Platform:
Log in to Confluent Platform with your username and password, the --url
flag to identify the location of your Metadata Service (MDS), and the --ca-cert-path
flag to identify your self-signed certificate chain.
Login can be accomplished non-interactively using the CONFLUENT_PLATFORM_USERNAME
, CONFLUENT_PLATFORM_PASSWORD
, CONFLUENT_PLATFORM_MDS_URL
, and CONFLUENT_PLATFORM_CA_CERT_PATH
environment variables.
In a non-interactive login, CONFLUENT_PLATFORM_MDS_URL
replaces the --url
flag, and CONFLUENT_PLATFORM_CA_CERT_PATH
replaces the --ca-cert-path
flag.
Even with the environment variables set, you can force an interactive login using the --prompt
flag.

--url string Metadata Service (MDS) URL, for on-prem deployments.

--save Save username and encrypted password (non-SSO credentials) to the configuration file in your $HOME directory, and to macOS keychain if applicable. You will be automatically logged back in when your token expires, after one hour for Confluent Cloud or after six hours for Confluent Platform.
