Environment Variables¶
The CLI supports multiple authentication methods through environment variables. When environment variables are properly configured, authentication happens using these environment variables without requiring an explicit login. It is important to choose one authentication method at a time and to provide all required variables for that method.
With Authentication Tokens method, you must refresh authentication tokens before they expire, as the CLI does not automatically refresh them.
