New in version mc: RELEASE.2023-12-23T08-47-21Z

Description

The mc idp ldap accesskey create allows you to add LDAP access key pairs.

The following example creates a new access key pair with the same policy as the authenticated user on the minio alias:

mc idp ldap accesskey create minio/

The command has the following syntax:

mc [GLOBALFLAGS] idp ldap accesskey create                   \
                                 ALIAS                       \
                                 [--access-key <value>]      \
                                 [--secret-key <value>]      \
                                 [--policy <value>]          \
                                 [--name <value>]            \
                                 [--description <value>]     \
                                 [--expiry-duration <value>] \
                                 [--login <site>]
  • Replace ALIAS with the alias of a MinIO deployment configured for AD/LDAP integration.

  • Brackets [] indicate optional parameters.

  • Parameters sharing a line are mutually dependent.

  • Parameters separated using the pipe | operator are mutually exclusive.

Copy the example to a text editor and modify as-needed before running the command in the terminal/shell.

Parameters

ALIAS
Required

The alias of the MinIO deployment configured for AD/LDAP.

For example:

mc idp ldap accesskey create minio
--access-key
Optional

An access key to use for the account.

Requires --secret-key

--secret-key

If not specified, the account uses the same policy as the authenticated user.

A human-readable name to use for the account.

--description

Behavior

S3 Compatibility

The mc commandline tool is built for compatibility with the AWS S3 API and is tested with MinIO and AWS S3 for expected functionality and behavior.

MinIO provides no guarantees for other S3-compatible services, as their S3 API implementation is unknown and therefore unsupported. While mc commands may work as documented, any such usage is at your own risk.

Examples

Create a new access-key pair for the authenticated user

The following command creates a new access key pair to use with the currently authenticated user on the minio alias. The command outputs a randomly generated access key and secret key.

mc idp ldap accesskey create minio

Create a new access-key pair with a custom access key and secret key

The following command creates a new access key pair with both an access key and secret key that you specify for the user currently authenticated on the minio alias.

mc idp ldap accesskey create minio/ --access-key my-access-key-change-me --secret-key my-secret-key-change-me

Create a new access-key pair that expires after 24 hours

The following command creates a new access key pair to use with the currently authenticated user on the minio alias. The credentials expire after 24 hours.

The command outputs a randomly generated access key and secret key.

mc idp ldap accesskey create minio --expiry-duration 24h

Create a new access-key and prompt to login as the user

The following command creates a new access key pair. The MinIO Client will first ask you to log in as the user the access key is for on the MinIO site configured for LDAP at minio.example.com.

The command outputs a randomly generated access key and secret key.

mc idp ldap accesskey create minio --login minio.example.com

Create a new access-key pair that expires after a date

The following command creates a new access key pair to use with the currently authenticated user on the minio alias. The credentials expire after February 29, 2024.

The command outputs a randomly generated access key and secret key.

mc idp ldap accesskey create minio --expiry 2024-02-29
