Authenticating Idem with providers

To authenticate to different environments, Idem uses a credentials file that you create.

Create your credential file

You store credentials in a credentials.yaml file that follows this pattern:

credentials.yaml

environment_1:
    default_profile:
        key_1: value_1
        key_2: value_2
    profile_2:
        key_1: value_1
        key_2: value_2
environment_2:
    default_profile:
        key_1: value_1
        key_2: value_2
    profile_2:
        key_1: value_1
        key_2: value_2

For example:

aws:
  default:
    id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    region: us-east-1
  test_account:
    id: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    key: xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    region: us-west-1
azure:
  default:
    client_id: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
    secret: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    subscription_id: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
    tenant: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
  demo_account:
    client_id: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
    secret: "xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"
    subscription_id: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"
    tenant: "xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx"

The environments correspond to your installed plug-ins. See Connecting Idem to providers.
