Register a service with the NetApp Console
You can register a service with the NetApp Console and use the associated credentials to create a service token. The steps you follow depend on whether you want to create a service token using client secret authentication or private key JWT authentication.
-
You must have an account for the Console. You created this account when you first logged in to the Console website and it was displayed at the top of the Console user interface.
-
If you plan to use private key JWT authentication to create a service access token, you must have already generated your private/public RSA key or certificate/private key pair. You need to upload the public file during this task.
-
Navigate to the Console website using a browser:
-
Sign in using your NetApp Console credentials or your NetApp Support Site credentials.
-
Select the Account tab at the top of the SaaS UI.
-
Select Manage Account and select the Members tab.
-
Select Create Service Account and provide the details for the service account depending on whether you want to use client secret authentication or private key JWT authentication.
Use client secret authentication-
Enter the service account name.
-
Select Create to register the application.
-
After successfully completing the registration, the associated client ID and client secret are displayed.
Use private key JWT authentication-
Enter the service account name.
-
Select the checkbox for private key JWT authentication.
-
Upload a valid X.509 certificate or RSA public key.
You need to set an expiration date if you upload an RSA public key. The maximum expiration date you can enter is 13 months from the date of upload. If you upload a certificate, the certificate expiration date is automatically extracted. -
Select Create to register the application.
-
After successfully completing the registration, the associated client ID and audience values are displayed.
