Description
On github, or gitlab, it is possible to have api or cli access by token . I am wondering, is it possible for Pulp? or could add it as new feature? So instead of username and password, we can use token in pulp-cli and httpie?
To use it, maybe something like:
- In http request:
'Authorization': "Token " + pulpuer_token - In pulp-cli :
--tokenparameter or in a variable in.config/pulp/cli.toml
For token generation:
- Pulp admin can create a token for a robot account for some automatic cron jobs
- A user can also create his token by cli or by web interface
We are very interested to this feature!
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by reviewing the authentication entry points for the HTTP API and pulp-cli, including the proposed .config/pulp/cli.toml setting. Clarify how tokens would be generated for users and robot accounts and how web or CLI issuance fits the scope. Done would mean an agreed design covering token use in httpie and pulp-cli.
