Supported Authentication Methods

Pulp-CLI support some authentication methods to authenticate against a Pulp instance. Some very simple and common, like HTTP Basic Auth, and some more complex like OAuth2.

OAuth2 ClientCredentials grant

Warning

This is an experimental feature. The support of it could change without any major warning.

For more information, see RFC6749 section 4.4.

Using this method the pulp-cli can request a token from an Identity Provider using a pair of credentials (client_id/client_secret). The token is then sent through using the Authorization header. The issuer URL and the scope of token must be specified by the Pulp server through the OpenAPI scheme definition.
