Authentication with access token

[bourdakos1]

Is it possible to use this sdk with only a service instance ID and an access token? (no api key)

That's a good question. It is possible with the Java SDK, which makes me think it should be possible. I'll take a look and provide an update.

Yeah, looks like it's as easy as just providing a token instead of an apiKeyId during client creation. Here's the relevant code:

ibm-cos-sdk-js/lib/iam/token_manager.js

Line 76 in 5d776bc

config = {

Thanks, I wasn't able to get token working, but I was able to pass a tokenManager:

new COS.S3({
  endpoint: "https://s3.us.cloud-object-storage.appdomain.cloud",
  serviceInstanceId: "...",
  // @ts-ignore
  tokenManager: {
    getToken: () => ({
      accessToken: token,
    }),
  },
});

Neither token or tokenManager are part of the typedefs

Has your issue been resolved?

[bourdakos1]

Not exactly, I was able to do a work around, but there doesn’t seem to be an official way to do this?

@bourdakos1 Your resolution would be the "official" one I would suggest. There currently is no support for supplying a pre-fetched IAM token. For cases like this, we suggest extending the token manager with the behavior you are looking for. Also, re: typedefs, I've opened an internal ticket.

If this cover everything, please close this as resolved.

okay great, yea the typedef fix would cover everything thanks :)
