Personal access token generation

Open raskchanky opened this issue 6 years ago • 8 comments

Previously, when builder supported GH access tokens as a means of authentication, the HTTP API was relatively easy to use from the command line via curl. As an engineer that works on Builder's HTTP API, this is something I do frequently.

Currently, now that we have switched to personal access tokens and GH access tokens no longer work, I have to log into the web UI and go to my profile in order to generate a personal access token. This is not a huge deal, but when standing up new depots on e.g. EC2, there's a non-trivial amount of setup that needs to happen in order to get the web UI working.

It would be incredibly awesome if there was a way to generate personal access tokens from the command line, either via hab itself or through an HTTP API endpoint.

We have a card to enable the op tool to generate admin tokens, which can then be used for this use case - see https://app.zenhub.com/workspace/o/habitat-sh/builder/issues/315

Re-opening as the op tool is deprecated, and this functionality will be useful in automating on-prem setups

The need to login to the Builder UI is problematic in many environments where you may want to set up an on-premises Builder. What are the implication of bringing back the ability to get an auth token via the command line? I agree with the original @raskchanky that this would make sense in the hab cli.

Working on automating on-prem builder via A2 now and also hit this. Would love to have the ability to do this via CLI/automation!

This is definitely something that would still be useful.
