Register a service with the NetApp Console

Contributors netapp-aoife

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.

Before you begin

  • 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. See, Sign up or log in to NetApp Console.

  • 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.

Steps

  1. Navigate to the Console website using a browser:

    https://console.netapp.com

  2. Sign in using your NetApp Console credentials or your NetApp Support Site credentials.

  3. Select the button at the top left of the page to expand the menu options.

  4. Select Administration and then select Identity and access.

  5. Select the Members tab from the left navigation pane and then select the Service accounts tab.
