aq accounts

aq accounts manages provider keys for the general console. Keys are kept in accounts.json in your aq config directory with file mode 0600. They are not sent to Aquanode.

aq accounts add

aq accounts add <provider> [--label <name>]

Prompts, without echo, for the fields that provider needs, saves them, and checks the key against the provider through the local executor, which it downloads if needed. On success it prints the result with a key fingerprint. A key the provider rejects is not kept, and the provider's error is printed instead.

<provider> is simplepod or massecompute, the providers the general console rents on today. --label names the account in aq connect output.

aq accounts ls

aq accounts ls

Lists each stored provider with its label, key fingerprint and when it was last verified. It never prints the key.

aq accounts rm

aq accounts rm <provider>

Removes the stored key from this machine. A running aq connect keeps using the old key until you restart it. Revoke the key at the provider as well, since removing it here does not disable it there.

See the key guides for what scope to create first.
