Retrieve Your Enterprise Token #

To activate Pachyderm’s enterprise features, you need to have your Pachyderm Enterprise activation code available. You should have received it from the Pachyderm sales team when registering for the Enterprise Edition.

📖

• If you are a new user evaluating Pachyderm, you can request a FREE trial token.
• If you are having trouble locating your activation code, contact support@pachyderm.io.

Activate The Enterprise Edition #

Enabling Pachyderm’s Enterprise Edition can be done in one of two flavors:

• (Recommended) Provide the licensing configuration as a part of the Helm deployment

  • Provide your enterprise key in the pachd.enterpriseLicenseKey: "<ENTERPRISE-LICENSE-KEY>" field of your helm values (See the Helm deployment instructions that match your targeted platform). Pachyderm will store this value in the platform secret pachyderm-license in the key enterprise-license-key.

  • Alternatively, you can create a secret containing your License (Key: enterprise-license-key) and reference its name in the field pachd.enterpriseLicenseKeySecretName.

⚠️

• When enabling the enterprise features through Helm, auth is automatically activated. In this case, a pachyderm-auth k8s secret is automatically created (Key: rootToken) containing an entry for your rootToken. Use {{"kubectl get secret pachyderm-auth -o go-template='{{.data.rootToken | base64decode }}'"}} to retrieve it and save it where you see fit.

• Set the helm value pachd.activateAuth to false to prevent the bootstrap of auth on the cluster.

• Note that you have the ability to provide your own rootToken value in the field pachd.rootToken or create your own secret holding the rootToken value in the key rootToken, then reference your secret name in pachd.rootTokenSecretName.

Generate your own value using:

openssl rand -hex 16

ℹ️

See the Helm Values reference for details.

• Or, activate the Enterprise Edition on an existing cluster using pachctl as described below.
