Repository credentials

This article refers to Platform v3.1.0. The current Platform version is v3.2.0.

Overview​

Docker credentials are access keys used to authenticate with private image repositories in a Docker Swarm environment. This view allows users to see and manage credentials that are applied to all nodes within the Swarm cluster. Managing these credentials ensures seamless access to private repositories for image pulls and deployments across the entire cluster.

Credentials Card​

Docker Credentials Card

The Credentials Card provides a comprehensive overview of all credentials defined on each node within the Swarm cluster. Users can see the total number of credentials currently configured and monitor their status.

Features of the Credentials Card include:

  • Viewing the total number of credentials defined across the cluster nodes.
  • Deleting credentials individually or in bulk to maintain security and hygiene.
  • Adding new credentials manually by specifying the repository URL, username, and password. Credentials added here are automatically propagated to all nodes in the cluster.
  • Bulk addition of credentials from a file for efficient management.
  • One-click bulk deletion of all credentials to quickly clear the cluster's credential store.

This centralized management interface simplifies credential handling and ensures consistent access control across the Swarm environment.

Adding Credentials​

Add A New Credential

This interface allows users to add new Docker credentials manually. Users must provide the following information:

  • Repository: The URL of the private image repository.
  • User: The username for authentication.
  • Password: The password associated with the user account.

Once added, the credential is automatically distributed to all nodes in the Swarm cluster, enabling seamless access to the specified private repository.

Features shown in this interface:

  • Input fields for repository URL, username, and password.
  • Password visibility toggle for ease of entry.
  • Validation to ensure all required fields are completed before adding the credential.
  • Modal dialog for focused and secure credential entry.
