Generating User Credentials

The first time you get credentials using the clcadmin-assume-system-credentials command, a new secret access key is generated. On each subsequent request to get credentials, an existing active secret key is returned. You can also generate new keys using the euare-useraddkey command.

To generate a new key for a user by an account administrator, enter the following

euare-useraddkey USER_NAME

To generate a private key and an X.509 certificate pair, enter the following:

euare-usercreatecert USER_NAME

The cloud administrator can obtain temporary access credentials for any cloud user via the clcadmin-impersonate-user command.
