Authentication
Your credentials provide access to proprietary software. Never share your credentials or commit them to public repositories.
Overview
Our system is distributed as a Helm chart and Docker images stored in our private Artifactory repository. You need valid credentials to access these resources during the installation process.
We support two authentication methods:
Username and Password: Basic authentication with your provided credentials
API Token: More secure method using generated tokens with configurable permissions
For production environments, we recommend using API tokens.
Requesting Access Credentials
For additional credentials or to replace lost ones:
Log in to our Customer Portal
Navigate to Account → Access Management
Click Request New Credentials
Submit the request
Requests are typically processed within 1-2 business days.
Authentication with Helm
Using Username and Password
You can provide your credentials directly in the Helm command:
helm repo add maisa-repo https://artifactory.company.com/artifactory/helm-repo \
--username YOUR_USERNAME \
--password YOUR_PASSWORD
This method saves your credentials in plain text in your shell history. For better security, use environment variables or the credentials file method.
Using API Tokens
API tokens are more secure than username and password authentication.
Use the token in place of a password:
helm repo add maisa-repo https://artifactory.company.com/artifactory/helm-repo \
--username YOUR_USERNAME \
--password YOUR_API_TOKEN
Authentication with Docker
The Helm chart needs to pull Docker images from our private registry. You need to configure Docker to authenticate with our registry.
Log in to our Docker registry:
docker login artifactory.company.com \
--username YOUR_USERNAME \
--password YOUR_PASSWORD
This command creates or updates the file ~/.docker/config.json
with your credentials.
