Akeyless Authentication Methods and Sub-Claims

Create multiple auth methods with isolated access roles, explore Universal Identity tokens, and review audit events per identity

40 minutes
Akeyless Authentication Methods and Sub-Claims - Platform Engineering Hands-On Lab Icon

Lab Overview

In this lab you will create separate API Key auth methods for two different applications, each bound to an isolated access role. You will then create a Universal Identity auth method, generate a UID token, and configure a CLI profile with it. Finally you will explore sub-claims conceptually and use the audit log to distinguish events by auth method identity.

What You'll Learn

Create multiple API Key auth methods and bind each to an isolated access role

Understand when to use Universal Identity tokens versus static API keys

Generate and use a Universal Identity token with the Akeyless CLI

Use the audit log to trace which auth method performed each operation

Prerequisites

Active Akeyless account with admin access

Akeyless CLI configured (complete Lab 2 or configure manually)

Comfortable with CLI secret CRUD operations (Lab 2/3)
