Logging in to the web UI
1) Open the container registry URL : https://registry-test.europeanweather.cloud
2) Select the option "LOGIN WITH EWC IAM SSO" :
3) Once redirected to EWC IAM, Insert or choose the tenancy name.
4) Log in with your IAM username and password or use the federated access (e.g. ECMWF Account).
| Sign-in with federated access (e.g. ECMWF account) | Sign in with IAM credentials |
Click on the federated "Sing in with" option (e.g. "ECMWF Account" for ECMWF users login) then you'll be redirected to the federated login mechanism, e.g. for the ECMWF Account :
| IAM username and password: |
5) Once logged in you will be redirected to the service page:
Logging in from the CLI (robot accounts)
The recommended way to login via CLI or in automated pipelines is to use a robot account, which is a non-human identity scoped to specific permissions.
In order to create a new robot account:
- Open a project → Robot Accounts → New Robot Account.
- Give it a name and an expiration time :
- Set the minimum permissions it needs (e.g. push and pull for one project/repository):
- Click "Finish" and then copy the generated token immediately — it is shown only once.
Once created the robot account can be used like any other login from a container engine platform, e.g. via docker or podman:
Docker
$ docker login registry.europeanweather.cloud -u 'robot$myproject+robotname' -p '<robot-token>'
Podman
$ podman login registry.europeanweather.cloud -u 'robot$myproject+robotname' -p '<robot-token>'
