Setup

After installation nsx_alb idem provider execution and state modules will be accessible to the pop hub. In order to use them we need to set up our credentials.

Create a new file called credentials.yaml and populate it with profiles. The default profile will be used automatically by idem unless you specify one with –acct-profile=profile_name on the cli.

credentials.yaml

nsx_alb:
  default:
    username: my_user
    password: my_good_password
    endpoint_url: https://console.nsx_alb.com/api

Now encrypt the credentials file and add the encryption key and encrypted file path to the ENVIRONMENT.

idem encrypt credentials.yaml

output:

-A9ZkiCSOjWYG_lbGmmkVh4jKLFDyOFH4e4S1HNtNwI=

Add these to your environment:

export ACCT_KEY="-A9ZkiCSOjWYG_lbGmmkVh4jKLFDyOFH4e4S1HNtNwI="
export ACCT_FILE=$PWD/credentials.yaml.fernet

You are ready to use idem_vmware_alb!
