Generate Administrator Credentials

Now that you have installed and configured Eucalyptus, you're ready to start using it. To do so, you must generate credentials.

Important

When you run the euca_conf --get-credentials command, you are requesting the access and secret keys and an X.509 certificate and key. You cannot retrieve an existing X.509 certificate and key. You can only generate a new pair.

To generate a set of credentials:

Generate administrator credentials.

/usr/sbin/euca_conf --get-credentials admin.zip

unzip admin.zip

Source the eucarc file.
```
source eucarc
```

You are now able to run Eucalyptus commands.
