Tokengen
The tokengen component generates admin-api tokens and stores them in the admin object storage.
You run the tokengen component with the configuration flag -target=tokengen.
It requires admin client object storage configuration to persist the generated token.
To configure the admin client object storage configuration, refer to admin_client_config.
The tokengen component logs the generated token and optionally writes it to the path specified by the configuration flag -tokengen.token-file.
Note that if the file already exists, the token file won’t be overwritten, and tokengen will fail with an error.
It can be run multiple times, generating a new token each time.
Previously generated tokens continue to be valid.
By default, tokens generated by tokengen use the built-in admin access policy.
To specify an alternative access policy, use the configuration flag -tokengen.access-policy.
