Command: acl auth-method create

The acl auth-method create command is used to create new ACL Auth Methods.

Usage

nomad acl auth-method create [options]

The acl auth-method create command requires the correct setting of the create options via flags detailed below.

General Options

  • -address=<addr>: The address of the Nomad server. Overrides the NOMAD_ADDR environment variable if set. Defaults to http://127.0.0.1:4646.

  • -region=<region>: The region of the Nomad server to forward commands to. Overrides the NOMAD_REGION environment variable if set. Defaults to the Agent's local region.

  • -no-color: Disables colored command output. Alternatively, NOMAD_CLI_NO_COLOR may be set. This option takes precedence over -force-color.

  • -force-color: Forces colored command output. This can be used in cases where the usual terminal detection fails. Alternatively, NOMAD_CLI_FORCE_COLOR may be set. This option has no effect if -no-color is also used.

  • -ca-cert=<path>: Path to a PEM encoded CA cert file to use to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. Overrides the NOMAD_CACERT environment variable if set.

  • -ca-path=<path>: Path to a directory of PEM encoded CA cert files to verify the Nomad server SSL certificate. If both -ca-cert and -ca-path are specified, -ca-cert is used. Overrides the NOMAD_CAPATH environment variable if set.

  • -client-cert=<path>: Path to a PEM encoded client certificate for TLS authentication to the Nomad server. Must also specify -client-key. Overrides the NOMAD_CLIENT_CERT environment variable if set.

  • -client-key=<path>: Path to an unencrypted PEM encoded private key matching the client certificate from -client-cert. Overrides the NOMAD_CLIENT_KEY environment variable if set.

  • -tls-server-name=<value>: The server name to use as the SNI host when connecting via TLS. Overrides the NOMAD_TLS_SERVER_NAME environment variable if set.

  • -tls-skip-verify: Do not verify TLS certificate. This is highly not recommended. Verification will also be skipped if NOMAD_SKIP_VERIFY is set.

  • -token: The SecretID of an ACL token to use to authenticate API requests with. Overrides the NOMAD_TOKEN environment variable if set.

Create Options

  • -name: Sets the human readable name for the ACL auth method. The name must be between 1-128 characters and is a required parameter.

  • -description: A free form text description of the auth-method that must not exceed 256 characters.

  • -type: Sets the type of the auth method. Supported types are OIDC and JWT.

  • -max-token-ttl: Sets the duration of time all tokens created by this auth method should be valid for.

  • -token-locality: Defines the kind of token that this auth method should produce. This can be either local or global.

  • -default: Specifies whether this auth method should be treated as a default one in case no auth method is explicitly specified for a login command.

  • -config: Auth method configuration in JSON format. May be prefixed with '@' to indicate that the value is a file path to load the config from. '-' may also be given to indicate that the config is available on stdin.

  • -json: Output the ACL auth-method in a JSON format.

  • -t: Format and display the ACL auth-method using a Go template.

Examples

Create a new ACL Auth Method:

$ nomad acl auth-method create -name "example-acl-auth-method" -type "OIDC" -max-token-ttl "1h" -token-locality "local" -config "@config.json"
Name         = example-acl-auth-method
Type         = OIDC
Locality     = local
MaxTokenTTL  = 1h0m0s
Default      = false
Create Index = 14
Modify Index = 14
