Uniac credentials belong to an account and a platform. UNIAC_PLATFORM_URL selects the platform API origin for auth login and auth token, with https://api.uniac.ai as the default.

Sign-in

login obtains a token through browser sign-in, where account creation is also available. Sign-in requires user interaction. The CLI prints the sign-in URL before opening the browser. Login continues independently of the browser helper; the printed URL remains available to open manually. Without --manual, login receives the redirect through a listener on a random localhost port and waits up to five minutes. The default platform uses uniac.ai for sign-in. Another platform takes its sign-in website from --host or UNIAC_AUTH_HOST. A platform accepts only tokens from its own sign-in website. login checks the returned token with the platform it signs in to, through the account-level project listing. When that platform rejects the token, login fails and the stored session is unchanged. Otherwise login stores the token in ~/.uniac/auth.json, with file permissions 0600, and reports whether the platform accepted it or gave no answer. There is one stored session per platform; signing in replaces that platform’s session and preserves the others. The CLI stores the token as sign-in returns it.

Credential selection and renewal

project create, link, deploy, status and auth token use a nonempty UNIAC_ACCESS_TOKEN first, otherwise the stored session for the addressed platform. Linked deploy and status use the binding’s platform origin; auth token uses UNIAC_PLATFORM_URL, independently of the project binding. An override is used as given. A stored token is usable until 60 seconds before its recorded expiry, and deployment needs a usable credential before its first network call. Deployment checks the selected credential with the platform before image work and uses that credential throughout the operation. auth token reads the local sessions only. A stored token is used until it expires. uniac auth login stores the token that sign-in returns, with the expiry sign-in sets.

Stored sessions

auth status checks the stored sessions and prints Logged in. when no platform rejects its session; commands that use credentials read UNIAC_ACCESS_TOKEN themselves. Logout removes the stored sessions from this machine, and issued tokens stay valid at the platform until they expire. uniac auth -h lists subcommands; each subcommand’s -h prints its usage. status, token and logout take no flags or arguments. Help and invalid invocations leave sessions unchanged, and login and status are the subcommands that use the network.
