Authentication and Authorisation

Authentication requires a client_id and a secret_key. These credentials can be obtained by contacting the server administrator with the queues you want priority access for, the maximum priority level to set for each queue, and any restricted queues that you need access to.

These credentials can be set using the Testflinger CLI.

Additionally, you can also login to the server by running the following command:

testflinger-cli login --client_id "my_client_id" --secret_key "my_secret_key"

Upon successful login, credentials will be cached and stored in a snap only available location. This allow testflinger-cli to authenticate automatically without the need to provide credentials until the cached credentials expire.

Tip

You can also run testflinger-cli login without command line arguments if your credentials are located in a .env file as mentioned in Authentication using Testflinger CLI
