Log in to Olares

Before olares-cli can act on behalf of an Olares user, log in once to create a profile. A profile is one Olares instance plus one user identity. After you log in, the CLI refreshes your tokens automatically, so you only log in again when the refresh token becomes invalid.

This page covers the user-mode login. It does not apply to host mode, which uses root and kubeconfig and needs no login.

Log in for the first time

1. Run the following command to start the login. Replace [email protected] with your own Olares ID.

   olares-cli profile login --olares-id [email protected]

2. When the CLI prompts password for <id>:, type your Olares password and press Enter. The input is hidden.

3. If two-factor authentication is enabled on your Olares, the CLI prompts again with two-factor code for <id>:. Enter the 6-digit code from LarePass and press Enter.

4. Verify that the profile is created and logged in.

   olares-cli profile list

   Example output:

      NAME                   OLARES-ID              STATUS
      [email protected]  [email protected]  logged-in
   *  [email protected]   [email protected]   logged-in

   The leading * marks the current profile.

Manage profiles

If you work with more than one Olares instance or identity, each login adds a profile. Use these commands to move between them.

Task	Command
List all profiles	olares-cli profile list
Show the current identity	olares-cli profile whoami
Switch to another profile	olares-cli profile use <name>
Switch back to the previous profile	olares-cli profile use -
Remove a profile and its stored token	olares-cli profile remove <name>

Where tokens are stored

Tokens are stored automatically after a successful login. You don't need to manage them by hand. To clear them, use olares-cli profile remove rather than editing files directly.

OS	Storage
macOS	Keychain
Linux	AES-encrypted file under ~/.local/share/olares-cli/
Windows	DPAPI
