globus endpoint activate - Activate an endpoint

globus endpoint activate [OPTIONS] ENDPOINT_ID

Activate an endpoint using Autoactivation, Myproxy, Delegate Proxy, or Web activation. Note that --web, --delegate-proxy, and --myproxy activation are mutually exclusive options.

Autoactivation will always be attempted unless the --no-autoactivate option is given. If autoactivation succeeds any other activation options will be ignored as the endpoint has already been successfully activated.

To use Web activation use the --web option. The CLI will try to open your default browser to the endpoint’s activation page, but if a remote CLI session is detected, or the --no-browser option is given, a url will be printed for you to manually follow and activate the endpoint.

To use Myproxy activation give the --myproxy option. Myproxy activation requires your username and password for the myproxy server the endpoint is using for authentication. e.g. for default Globus Connect Server endpoints this will be your login credentials for the server the endpoint is hosted on. You can enter your username when prompted, give your username with the --myproxy-username option, or set a default myproxy username in config with "globus config init" or "globus config set cli.default_myproxy_username". For security it is recommended that you only enter your password when prompted to hide your inputs and keep your password out of your command history, but you may pass your password with the hidden --myproxy-password or -P options.

To use Delegate Proxy activation use the --delegate-proxy option with a file containing an X.509 certificate as an argument (e.g. an X.509 gotten from the myproxy-logon command). This certificate must be a valid credential or proxy credential for the user from an identity provider accepted by the endpoint being activated, and the endpoint must be configured with a gridmap that will match the globus user using this command with the local user the certificate was made to. Note if the X.509 is valid, but the endpoint does not recognize the identity provider or the user the error will not be detected until the user attempts to perform an operation on the endpoint.

Activate an endpoint using just Automatic activation:
