Credentials

    This topic describes the different types of credentials used by Eucalyptus.Each user has a unique set of credentials. These credentials are used to authenticate access to resources. There are three types of credentials:

    • An is used to authenticate requests to the SOAP API service.
    • A is used to authenticate requests to the REST API service. You can manage credentials using the command line tools (the euare- commands).

    In IAM, each account has its own credentials. In Eucalyptus, the equivalent of account credentials are the credentials of admin user of the account.
