Authenticating With Validate Using QA·CLI

Authentication using the command line is done with the qacli auth command, which you can read about in qacli auth. For example:

qacli auth --validate --username trinity --password pa55word --url prometheus:8888

Many users will avoid putting a password on the command line and store in a suitably protected file. The command will then become:

qacli auth --validate --username trinity --password-file my_validate_creds --url prometheus:8888
