API endpoint
By default, sdkms-cli makes REST API calls to the Fortanix DSM server at https://apps.smartkey.io. To make calls to a different Fortanix DSM server, either set the environment variable FORTANIX_API_ENDPOINT, For example: FORTANIX_API_ENDPOINT=<sdkms-server-url>or provide the server URL on the command line using the --api-endpoint option.
Authentication
The Fortanix DSM Server supports two types of authentication: user authentication and application authentication. A user is authenticated with a password, followed by Two Factor Authentication. Applications are authenticated with an API Key or with a certificate.
Each action performed in Fortanix DSM requires some form of authorization. Encrypting or decrypting data is performed with application credentials. Creating new groups, creating applications, and changing group membership is done with user credentials. Creating new security objects is performed with either user credentials or application credentials.
The sdkms-cli supports both user authentication and application authentication. It may have an active session for a user, an application, or both simultaneously. See the Developer guide for more details on these concepts.
sdkms-cli user-login authenticates a user account using its Fortanix DSM username and password.
sdkms-cli app-login authenticates an application with an API key.
In both cases, persistent session information is stored in a hidden file .token in the current directory.
sdkms-cli logout logs out of the Fortanix DSM server and clears .token. You may also use sdkms-cli user-logout or sdkms-cli app-logout to log out of just the current user session or just the current application session.
For example,
$ sdkms-cli user-login
Please enter your Fortanix DSM username: user@example.com

Importing keys and certificates
sdkms-cli import-key expect keys in PEM format or Base64 values. It can also accept DER format with this flag --der.
sdkms-cli import-cert expect certificates to be in PEM format only.
