Connect with an API token
-
In Teleport:
- Teleport API clients load credentials from a Teleport profile created by
tsh login; the Profile Credentials loader retrieves them from the current profile. - As a Teleport admin, create a user for the API client with
tctl users add api-admin --roles=editor(the getting-started guide uses the built-ineditorrole). - Log in as that user with
tsh login --user=api-admin --proxy=<your proxy address>; the API client then loads credentials from that profile.
Where to find the other values:
- Base URL (optional): Your Teleport proxy address, as used in
tsh login --proxy=(the guide's example istele.example.com).
Teleport issues this credential through its API or its support team, not through its admin screens.
