Configuring CDP client with the API access key

After you generate the access key, go to the command line and run the following commands to configure the CDP client.

1. On the command line, run the following command to configure the client with the access key:
   cdp configure
2. Enter the following information at the prompt:
   1. CDP Access key. Copy and paste the access key ID that you generated in the Management Console.
   2. CDP Private key. Copy and paste the private key that you generated in the Management Console.

   The configuration utility creates the following file to store your user credentials:

   ~/.cdp/credentials
3. To verify that the credentials were created correctly, run the following command:
   cdp iam get-user

   The command displays your CDP client credentials.

4. After you configure the client, go back to the Management Console and click OK to exit the access key window.
