Authenticate the State Tool

Before you can interact with your organization’s projects, you need to authorize your installation of the State Tool.

After creating an account and with the State Tool installed, enter the following command into your command prompt or terminal:

state auth

Your browser will open and prompt you to Authorize your State Tool. If you are not logged into the ActiveState Platform, you will need to provide your credentials. Click Authorize to proceed.

If a browser does not open, paste the link provided in the state auth output into a browser and click Authorize. If your environment does not have a browser accessible, paste the url into the browser in another environment.

Successful authentication will return the following output in your command line.

You have successfully authenticated, hello <username>!
You are logged in as <username>

Your State Tool will remain authorized on your local installation until you log out using the following command:

state auth logout
