@ancient-wolf-19325 how should my CI pipeline authenticate with my deployed flyte instance?/

For CI pipelines, Flyte supports authentication using the OAuth2

client_credentials

grant type, which allows non-interactive (headless) authentication. You need to configure a client ID and client secret for your CI system, and set the Flyte client to use

client_credentials

as the

authType

(or

auth_mode

). This is supported in both Flyte's backend and client configuration, and is specifically designed for CI/CD and headless environments. The client secret can be provided via environment variable, file, or directly in the config file, and scopes/audience can be set as needed for your OAuth provider. See the configuration options in the Flyte SDK and Flyte deployment Helm values for details on setting these parameters. For example, in your Flyte client config (e.g.,

~/.flyte/config.yaml

), set:

admin:
  endpoint: <your-flyte-endpoint>
  authType: client_credentials
  clientId: <your-client-id>
  clientSecret: <your-client-secret>
  scopes: [all]

This enables your CI pipeline to authenticate and interact with Flyte programmatically, without user interaction. For more details, see the discussion and config options in the linked sources.

@ancient-wolf-19325 I use okta, so what secrets do I really need to achieve this?

For Okta with CI authentication, you need a confidential OAuth2 client in Okta (client ID and client secret) configured for the

client_credentials

grant type. The CI pipeline must have access to the client ID and client secret, which are used to obtain tokens from Okta. No user credentials or browser interaction are required—just the client ID and secret. These secrets should be securely stored (e.g., as CI/CD environment variables or Kubernetes secrets) and referenced in your Flyte client config. Would you like more detail on Okta client setup or Flyte config? Sources: - Flyte OAuth2 client_credentials support 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.

@ancient-wolf-19325 what would file at clientSecretLocation look like?

The file at

clientSecretLocation

should contain only the client secret as a plain string, with no extra formatting or metadata. For example, if your client secret is

mySuperSecretValue

, the file should contain exactly:

mySuperSecretValue

No quotes, newlines, or additional content are required. The Flyte client will read this file and use its contents as the secret for authentication. Would you like more detail on how to mount or reference this file in your CI environment?

@ancient-wolf-19325 how do I initialize a config file with the values

You can initialize a Flyte config file with your values using the CLI command

flyte create config

, specifying options like

--endpoint

,

--project

,

--domain

, and

--output

for the file path. For example:

flyte create config \
  --endpoint my-org.my-company.com \
  --project my-project \
  --domain development \
  --output my-config.yaml \
  --force

This generates a YAML config file with your specified values. Would you like more detail on each parameter or how to use this config in your workflow? Sources: - flyte create config CLI reference 👍 0 button 👎 0 button 💡 Hint: Mention @runllm in the thread for followups.
