Adding Credentials

Follow these instructions to configure access to the DIAG or Amazon EC2. Adding credentials for a cloud provider needs to be performed only once for an installation of CloVR.

Adding credentials using the Web GUI

1) Open the CloVR dashboard.

2) Click on the Credentials tab.

3) Click the Add button.

4) Choose what kind of credential you are adding, DIAG or EC2 are the only ones supported right now, provide a name and the credentials. For DIAG, the credentials are available in recent CloVR images in the “keys” folder of the installation.

5) You will see your credential come up in the list.

Adding credentials using the command line

Use vp-add-credential to add a credential. Assuming your cert file is /path/to/cert.pem and your key file is at /path/to/key.pem the following command will create a DIAG credential called clovr_diag_account:

vp-add-credential –cred-name=clovr_diag_account –ctype=diag -c /path/to/cert.pem -p /path/to/key.pem
