Open Source CLI for the Authorization with the Open Telekom Cloud.
With this CLI you can log in to the OTC through its Identity Access Manager (IAM) or through an external Identity Provider (IdP) in order to get an unscoped token. The allowed protocols for IdP login are SAML and OIDC. When logging in directly with Telekom's IAM it is also possible to use Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) in the process.
After you have retrieved an unscoped token, you can use it to get a list of the clusters in a project from the Cloud Container Engine (CCE) and also get the remote kube config file and merge with your local file.
This tool can also be used to manage (create) a pair of Access Key/ Secret Key in order to make requests more secure.
We have repos set up for Arch, Debian, Fedora and Alpine.
Alternatively, you can download and use the binaries from our releases page. Remember to add it to your PATH! Replace {OTC_AUTH_VERSION} and {YOUR_PLATFORM} in the example below with the version you want to download and the platform you want to download it for.

tar -xf otc-auth_{YOUR_PLATFORM}.tar.gz
sudo mv otc-auth /usr/local/bin/otc-auth 1
We recommend using our brew tap to install otc-auth.
brew tap iits-consulting/homebrew-tap
brew install otc-auth

Download the binary for your system from the releases page. Unpack the binary, add it to your PATH and you are good to go!
Use the login
command to retrieve an unscoped token either by logging in directly with the Service Provider or through
an IdP. You can see the help page by entering login --help
or login -h
. There are three log in
options (iam
, idp-saml
, and idp-oidc
) and one of them must be provided.
To log in directly with the Open Telekom Cloud's IAM, you will have to supply the domain name you're attempting to log in to (usually starting with "OTC-EU", following the region and a longer identifier), your username and password.
otc-auth login iam --os-username <username> --os-password <password> --os-domain-name <domain_name> --region <region>
Additionally, it is possible to use MFA if needed. In this case, both
arguments --os-user-domain-id
and --totp
, are required (with --os-user-domain-id
replacing --os-username
).
The user id can be obtained in the "My Credentials" page on the OTC.
otc-auth login iam --os-password <password> --os-domain-name <domain_name> --os-user-domain-id <user_domain_id> --totp <6_digit_token> --region <region>
The OTP Token is 6-digits long and refreshes every 30 seconds. For more information on MFA please refer to the OTC's documentation.
You can log in with an external IdP using either the saml
or the oidc
protocols. In both cases you will need to
specify the authorization URL, the name of the Identity Provider (as set on the OTC), as well as username and password
for the SAML login and client id (and optionally client secret) for the OIDC login flow.
The SAML login flow is SP initiated and requires you to send username and password to the SP. The SP then authorizes you with the configured IdP and returns either an unscoped token or an error, if the user is not allowed to log in.
otc-auth login idp-saml --os-username <username> --os-password <password> --idp-name <idp_name> --idp-url <authorization_url> --os-domain-name <os_domain_name> --region <region>
At the moment, no MFA is supported for this login flow.
The OIDC login flow is user initiated and will open a browser window with the IdP's authorization URL for the user to log in as desired. This flow does support MFA (this requires it to be configured on the IdP). After being successfully authenticated with the IdP, the SP will be contacted with the corresponding credentials and will return either an unscoped token or an error, if the user is not allowed to log in.
otc-auth login idp-oidc --idp-name <idp_name> --idp-url <authorization_url> --client-id <client_id> --os-domain-name <os_domain_name> --region <region> [--client-secret <client_secret>]
The argument --client-id
is required, but the argument --client-secret
is only needed if configured on the IdP.
If you have set up your IdP to provide service accounts then you can utilize service account with otc-auth
too. Make
also sure that the IdP is correctly configured in the OTC Identity and Access Management. Then run the otc-auth
as
follows:
otc-auth login idp-oidc \
--idp-name NameOfClientInIdp \
--idp-url IdpAuthUrl \
--os-domain-name YourDomainName \
--region YourRegion \
--client-id NameOfIdpInOtcIam \
--client-secret ClientSecretForTheClientInIdp \
--service-account
The OIDC scopes can be configured if required. To do so simply provide one of the following two when logging in
with idp-oidc
:
--oidc-scopes pleasePut,HereAll,YourScopes,WhichYouNeed
export OIDC_SCOPES="pleasePut,HereAll,YourScopes,WhichYouNeed"
The default value is openid,profile,roles,name,groups,email
Clouds are differentiated by their identifier --os-domain-name
. To delete a cloud, use the remove
command.
otc-auth login remove --os-domain-name <os_domain_name> --region <region>
It is possible to get a list of all projects in the current cloud. For that, use the following command.
otc-auth projects list
Use the cce
command to retrieve a list of available clusters in your project and/or get the remote kube configuration
file. You can see the help page by entering cce --help
or cce -h
.
To retrieve a list of clusters for a project use the following command. The project name will be checked against the ones in the cloud at the moment of the request. If the desired project isn't found, you will receive an error message.
otc-auth cce list --os-domain-name <os_domain_name> --region <region> --os-project-name <project_name>
To retrieve the remote kube configuration file (and merge it to your local one) use the following command:
otc-auth cce get-kube-config --os-domain-name <os_domain_name> --region <region> --os-project-name <project_name> --cluster <cluster_name>
You could also pass the --days-valid
argument to set the period of days the configuration will be valid for, with the
default being 7 days. The -s
or --server
argument could also be used to override the server attribute in the
config generated.
You can use the OTC-Auth tool to download permanent AK/SK pairs directly from the OTC. A file called "ak-sk-env.sh" will be created in the current directory. The file contains four environment variables.
otc-auth access-token create --os-domain-name <os_domain_name> --region <region>
If a temporary AK/SK pair is needed instead, use the following command:
otc-auth temp-access-token create --os-domain-name <os_domain_name> --region <region> -t <lifetime in seconds>
This will generate a temporary AK/SK pair (valid for 15m by default, if the -t
argument is not given), saved to "
ak-sk-env.sh".
The file will contain five environment variables.
The "ak-sk-env.sh" file must then be source
-ed before you can start using the environment variables.
The OTC-Auth tool is able to generate the clouds.yaml config file for openstack. With this file it is possible to reuse the clouds.yaml with terraform.
If you execute this command
otc-auth openstack config-create
It will create a cloud config for every project which you have access to and generate a scoped token. After that it overrides the clouds.yaml (by default: ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml) file.
The OTC-Auth tool also provides environment variables for all the required arguments. For the sake of compatibility, they are aligned with the Open Stack environment variables (starting with OS).

You install the auto completions for your shell by running. Please follow the instructions by
running otc-auth completion --help
in your terminal.
Is something not working the way you've expected? otc-auth uses glog for logging with all info output at log-level 1. In the following example, we'd like to have the logs from the OIDC login command be saved to our current directory:
otc-auth login idp-oidc -v 1 --log_dir .
We could also just print the logs to stderr instead of writing them to a file:
otc-auth login idp-oidc -v 1 --logtostderr=true
The more advanced logging features (like logging to both a file and stderr, emitting a stack trace at a specific line, buffering log messages and more) are described in the glog documentation.
Need a stacktrace? -v 2
and higher will also print a stacktrace when something breaks.
