azdata login
When your cluster is deployed, it will list the controller endpoint during deployment, which you should use to login. If you do not know the controller endpoint, you may login by having your cluster's kube config on your system in the default location of <user home>/.kube/config or use the KUBECONFIG env var, i.e. export KUBECONFIG=path/to/.kube/config. When you login, this cluster's namespace will be set to your active context.
azdata login [--auth]
[--endpoint -e]
[--accept-eula -a]
[--namespace -ns]
[--username -u]
[--principal -p]
Examples
Login using basic authentication.
azdata login --auth basic --username johndoe --endpoint https://<ip or domain name>:30080
Login using active directory.
azdata login --auth ad --endpoint https://<ip or domain name>:30080
Login using active directory with an explicit principal.
azdata login --auth ad --principal johndoe@COSTOSO.COM --endpoint https://<ip or domain name>:30080
Log in interactively. Cluster name will always be prompted for if not specified as an argument. If you have the AZDATA_USERNAME, AZDATA_PASSWORD, and ACCEPT_EULA env variables set on your system, these will not be prompted for. If you have the kube config on your system or are using the KUBECONFIG env var to specify the path to the config, the interactive experience will first try to use the config and then prompt you if the config fails.
azdata login
Log in (non-interactively). Log in with cluster name, controller user name, controller endpoint, and EULA acceptance set as arguments. The environment variable AZDATA_PASSWORD must be set. If you do not want to specify the controller endpoint, please have the kube config on your machine in the default location of <user home>/.kube/config or use the KUBECONFIG env var, i.e. export KUBECONFIG=path/to/.kube/config.
azdata login --namespace ClusterName --username johndoe@contoso.com --endpoint https://<ip or domain name>:30080 --accept-eula yes
Log in with kube config on machine, and env var set for AZDATA_USERNAME, AZDATA_PASSWORD, and ACCEPT_EULA.
azdata login -n ClusterName
Optional Parameters
--auth
The authentication strategy. Basic or Active Directory authentication. Default is "basic" authentication.
--endpoint -e
Cluster controller endpoint "https://host:port". If you do not want to use this arg, you may use the kube config on your machine. Please ensure the config is located at the default location of <user home>/.kube/config or use the KUBECONFIG env var.
--accept-eula -a
Do you accept the license terms? [yes/no]. If you do not want to use this arg, you may set the environment variable ACCEPT_EULA to 'yes'. The license terms for this product can be viewed at https://aka.ms/eula-azdata-en.
--namespace -ns
Namespace of the cluster control plane.
