salt.runners.auth¶

Authentication runner for creating, deleting, and managing eauth tokens.

salt.runners.auth.del_token(token)¶

Delete an eauth token by name

CLI Example:

salt-run auth.del_token 6556760736e4077daa601baec2b67c24

salt.runners.auth.mk_token(**load)¶

Create an eauth token using provided credentials

Non-root users may specify an expiration date -- if allowed via the token_expire_user_override setting -- by passing an additional token_expire param. This overrides the token_expire setting of the same name in the Master config and is how long a token should live in seconds.

CLI Example:

salt-run auth.mk_token username=saltdev password=saltdev eauth=auto

# Create a token valid for three years.
salt-run auth.mk_token username=saltdev password=saltdev eauth=auto \
    token_expire=94670856

# Calculate the number of seconds using expr.
salt-run auth.mk_token username=saltdev password=saltdev eauth=auto \
    token_expire=$(expr \( 365 \* 24 \* 60 \* 60 \) \* 3)
