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.
