Open Anaconda Prompt (Terminal on macOS/Linux). 2. Update `anaconda-auth` to the latest version: ```sh theme={null} conda update --name base anaconda-auth ``` ### Error while loading conda entry point: conda-env-log The `anaconda-env-log` package, used for environment logging, currently imports `is_conda_environment` from `conda.gateways.disk.test`. This was changed to `is_environment` in conda 26.3.0, so users with a conda version of 26.3.0 or later will see `Error while loading conda entry point: conda-env-log` after every conda command. This is a known issue and will be fixed in a subsequent release. The workaround for this issue is to downgrade your conda version to 26.1.1. ```sh theme={null} conda install --name base conda=26.1.1 ``` To prevent conda from being upgraded again before the fix is released, you can also pin the version to your `base` environment&`#39`;s pinned file: 1. Navigate to `<CONDA_INSTALL_FOLDER>/conda-meta`. Your conda install folder is typically in file locations like: * `C:\Users\ \anaconda3` * `~/anaconda3` * `/opt/anaconda3` You can also ... `anaconda3` with `miniconda3` in any of these paths. 2 ... pinned` file in your `conda-meta` folder or create a new file named `pinned` if it doesn&`#39`;t exist. The `pinned` file has no extension. 3 ... Add `conda==26.1.1` to the pinned file. Once the fix is available, remove this pin and update conda.</excerpt> </source> <source> <title>Result 2</title> <location>https://www.anaconda.com/docs/anaconda-platform/cloud/getting-started-with-anaconda-platform.md</location> <excerpt># Getting started with Anaconda Platform (Cloud) ... Using Anaconda Platform (Cloud) requires membership to an organization with a current subscription. If you&`#39`;re working with an Anaconda representative, they will create and subscribe your organization for you. To get started: 1. Install conda on your computer. 2. Authenticate with `anaconda login`. 3. Configure access to your organization&`#39`;s channels. ... Once conda is configured, you can start building environments for your projects using secure, approved packages. ... ## Authenticating to Anaconda Platform You must be assigned a seat within your organization before you can authenticate. If you have not been assigned a seat, contact your organization administrator. 1. Open Anaconda Prompt (Terminal on macOS/Linux). 2. Verify that `anaconda-auth` is installed: ```sh theme={null} conda list --name base anaconda-auth ``` If the output does not display package information, install it: ```sh theme={null} conda install --name base anaconda-auth ``` 3. Log in to Anaconda: ```sh theme={null} anaconda login ``` A browser window opens to complete the authentication process. If your organization has configured SSO, you are redirected to your company&`#39`;s SSO login page. If you belong to more than one organization, use the arrow keys to select the organization you want to authenticate to. ### API key storage ... After authentication completes, an API key is generated and stored in your keyring: `C:\Users\ \.anaconda\keyring` `~/.anaconda/keyring` ### Environment logging setup ... If your organization has environments enabled, `anaconda login` prompts you to install the necessary plugins for environment logging and scanning. After setup, conda automatically logs any environment you create or update to your registered organization. ... ### Issuing and setting your token ... Your organization access token grants conda access to your organization&`#39`;s channels and packages. To issue and set your token, run the following command: ... ```sh theme={null} anaconda token install ``` If you belong to more than one organization, you are prompted to select which organization to issue a token for. ## Configuring conda to use organization channels ... To access packages from your organization&`#39`;s channels, add them to your `.condarc` file: ... 1. Log in to anaconda.com/app. 2. Select **Channels** from the left-hand navigation. 3. Click **Copy channel path**. 4. Open Anaconda Prompt (Terminal on macOS/Linux) and run the following command: ```sh theme={null} conda config --prepend channels <CHANNEL_PATH> ``` Replace \<CHANNEL\_PATH> with the copied channel path. This adds the specified channel to the top of your `channels:` list, giving it top priority when conda searches for packages. ```yaml Example .condarc file highlight={5} theme={null} channel_settings: - channel: https://repo.anaconda.cloud/* auth: anaconda-auth channels: - https://repo.anaconda.cloud/repo/<ORG_ID>/<CHANNEL_NAME> - defaults add_anaconda_token: true default_channels: - https://repo.anaconda.cloud/repo/main ``` If you want to use your organization&`#39`;s channels exclusively, ensure they are the only channels in your `.condarc`&`#39`;s `channels:` list. For more information about managing channels, see Channels.</excerpt> </source> <source> <title>Result 3</title> <location>https://www.anaconda.com/docs/anaconda-platform/cloud/user/tokens.md</location> <excerpt>> ## Documentation Index > Fetch the complete documentation index at: https://anaconda.com/docs/llms.txt > Use this file to discover all available pages before exploring further. # Tokens Access to your organization&`#39`;s channels requires specific tooling to enable authentication. These tools can be used to issue and/or set access tokens, and help distinguish yourself from other users in the Anaconda ecosystem. There are two types of access tokens your organization can use: * **Individual access tokens**: Your individual access token provides access to use packages from your organization&`#39`;s channels. Each user in an organization has a unique access token, unless the organization is using a site token for access. * **Site token**: A site token is an access token that is *used by the entire organization*. This one token can authenticate any organization member. Site tokens are provided to users by organization administrators. You do not need to be assigned a seat if your organization is using a site token. ## Issuing and setting your token You must be assigned a seat within your organization to issue yourself a token. If you have not been assigned a seat, speak with your organization administrator. Your organization access token grants conda access to your organization&`#39`;s channels and packages. To issue and set your token, run the following command: ```sh theme={null} anaconda token install ``` If you belong to more than one organization, you are prompted to select which organization to issue a token for. ## Reissuing a token You can reissue a token using `anaconda-auth` or from your Anaconda.com organization. Reissuing a token invalidates your previously issued token. 1. Open Anaconda Prompt (Terminal on macOS/Linux). 2. Issue and set a new token: ```sh theme={null} anaconda token install ``` 1. Navigate to your Organizations page. 2. Under Org Management, select **Token Access**. 3. Click **Reissue token**. Your new token displays until copied. An automated email containing your new token is also delivered to the email address associated with your Anaconda account. After copying your new token, run `anaconda token install ` to set it. All newly issued tokens are set to expire when your organization&`#39`;s subscription expires. ## Synchronizing your token Tokens have a lifespan that is tied to your organization&`#39`;s subscription, and expire either 30 days after the organization&`#39`;s subscription has ended or immediately if the subscription has been cancelled. *Renewing your subscription does not automatically extend the lifespan of your token.* If you&`#39`;ve renewed your subscription and want to retain your current token, synchronize your token to extend its lifespan to your organization&`#39`;s new subscription expiration date. To synchronize your token: 1. Go to your organization&`#39`;s page. 2. Under Org Management, select **Token Access**. 3. Click **Sync token**. ## Viewing tokens To view the tokens installed on your system, run the following command: ```sh theme={null} anaconda token list ```</excerpt> </source> <source> <title>Result 4</title> <location>https://www.anaconda.com/docs/tools/anaconda-navigator/tutorials/connecting-to-other-repos</location> <excerpt>Navigator integrates with Anaconda&`#39`;s free, public repository and premium, curated repository through different connection points. For more information, see our pricing page. You can only be signed into one repository service at a time. However, you can be signed into Anaconda.com while also signed into a repository service. ## How to connect to other repositories ... This guide takes you through the connection setup for Package Security Manager (Cloud and On-prem): Anaconda Enterprise 4 is deprecated. 1. Click **Connect** in the top-right corner of the Navigator application. 2. **Sign in** to *Package Security Manager Cloud*. 3. Enter your token to log in to your Package Security Manager (Cloud) instance. You can issue yourself a *private* access token from the **Token Access** page of your Anaconda.com organization. You must be assigned a seat to issue yourself a token. If you&`#39`;ve lost your token, you can re-issue yourself a new token at any time. Re-issuing a token invalidates the previous token. For more information, see Authenticating to Anaconda in the Package Security Manager (Cloud) quickstart. 4. Click **Set Token**. If your token is valid, you will be signed in. For more information on adding channels from your Package Security Manager (Cloud) repo to Navigator, see Adding an organization channel to your .condarc file in the Package Security Manager (Cloud) documentation. 1. Click **Connect** in the top-right corner of the Navigator application. 2. **Sign in** to *Package Security Manager On-prem*. 3. If this is your first time logging in, enter your Package Security Manager (On-prem) domain and click **Set Domain**. 4. Enter the credentials you use to log in to your Package Security Manager (On-prem) instance. 5. Click **Login**. If all credentials are correct, you will be signed in. After signing in, select channels from the repository integration to use with Navigator. 1. Select **Add to channels** to add each channel to the `channels:` list in your `.condarc` file. 2. Select **Add to default\_channels** to add each channel to your default channels. 3. Click **Add channels** to save your selections. The Package Security Manager (On-prem) connection also has a **Sign in with SSO** option. For more information on setting up an SSO connection for Package Security Manager (On-prem) using Okta, see Okta integration using OIDC. ### Trouble logging in to Package Security Manager (On-prem) in Navigator Login issues or inability to interact with Package Security Manager (On-prem) can be caused by stale authentication tokens or conflicting channel configurations in Navigator&`#39`;s config files. If you are having issues logging in or know you&`#39`;re logged in but cannot interact with Package Security Manager (On-prem), try the following solution: 1. Set `logged_api_url`, `anaconda_server_token`, and `anaconda_server_token_id` in the Navigator config file (`anaconda-navigator.ini`) to **None**. The `token` and `token_id` config variable names have been updated from `team_edition_token` to `anaconda_server_token` and `team_edition_token_id` to `anaconda_server_token_id` as of Navigator Version 2.4.0. If you downgrade your Navigator application to a version older than 2.4.0, you must manually change these variable names back to their previous versions within your `anaconda-navigator.ini` file. 2. Remove the `channel_alias:` entry from the conda configuration file (`.condarc`). 3. Try signing in again. ... Navigator performs a few actions for you automatically when you connect to your repository: * The `conda-token` tool sets your supplied organization token and automatically manages `default_channels`. * The `conda-repo-cli` tool creates a private token for you. * Navigator sets the private token in the Navigator config file (`anaconda-navigator.ini`). See Package Security Manager (On-prem) token authentication. * Navigator modifies the conda configuration file (`.condarc`): * `channels` is set to an empty lis…[truncated]</excerpt> </source> <source> <title>Result 5</title> <location>https://www.anaconda.com/docs/psm/on-prem/6.8.0/user/auth_token</location> <excerpt>Authorization tokens can be generated by users and admins to provide others with access to private/authenticated channels or with a specific set of permissions when using the Package Security Manager CLI or API. This token can be used in place of username-based authentication, and is particularly useful (and sometimes necessary) for third-party applications or automation tools. ... ## Generating tokens To provide token holders with access to a channel: 1. Log in to Package Security Manager. 2. Select **Tokens** from the left-hand navigation. 3. Click **Generate Token**. 4. Enter a name for your token. 5. Set an expiration date for your token. 6. Open the **Type** dropdown menu and select **Resources**. 7. Open the **Channel** dropdown menu and select an available channel to associate with this token. 8. Select the level of permissions to associate with this token. 9. If necessary, click the **Add Resource** button to include an additional channel with this token, repeat as needed. 10. Provide a brief description of the token’s use. 11. Click **Create**. 12. Save your token string in a secure location. Generated tokens appear in the upper-right corner, and will remain visible until you close the notification, or navigate away from the page. Save your token in a secure location! *If you lose your token, there is no way to recover the token string.* You must issue a new token if you lose your current token. To provide token holders with a custom set of permissions: 1. Log in to Package Security Manager. 2. Select **Tokens** from the left-hand navigation. 3. Click **Generate Token**. 4. Enter a name for your token. 5. Set an expiration date for your token. 6. Open the **Type** dropdown menu and select **Scopes**. 7. Open the **Select a scope** dropdown menu and select a scope to add to the token. Repeat as necessary to build a custom set of permissions for your token holders. 8. Click **Create**. 9. Save your token string in a secure location. Generated tokens appear at the bottom of the page and will remain visible until you close the notification or navigate away from the page. Save your token in a secure location! *If you lose your token, there is no way to recover the token string.* You must issue a new token if you lose your current token. ... ## Setting/using a token ... Once you have generated a token, you can share it with other users by any method you wish. ... If you have received a resource token string from another user and you would like to use it to access packages on a channel, add the channel to your `.condarc` file by running the following command: ... ```sh theme={null} # Replace <FQDN> with the URL of your Package Security Manager fully qualified domain name # Replace <TOKEN> with the generated/shared token string # Replace <CHANNEL> with the channel name conda config --add channels http(s)://<FQDN>/api/repo/t/<TOKEN>/<CHANNEL> ``` ... ## Managing tokens via the CLI ...

Clarify the target Anaconda offering.

The main-x documentation states that main-x is available to all registered users and describes separate access paths for Anaconda Platform and Package Security Manager. This section presents the generic authenticated main-x setup as a “Commercial Distribution,” which conflates standard access with paid offerings. If this targets paid users, add the plan-specific setup. If it targets standard main-x, change the heading and description.

This package provides centralized authentication for the Anaconda ecosystem. ## Installation ```bash conda install anaconda-auth ``` ## Basic usage ### Log in to Anaconda This command opens your browser to authenticate your Anaconda account. Once completed, an API key is stored securely in your `/.anaconda/keyring`. ```bash anaconda auth login ``` ### Check authentication status This command displays information about the currently signed-in user. ```bash anaconda auth whoami ``` ### Display your API key This command prints the API key for the signed-in user (useful for non-interactive environments). ```bash anaconda auth api-key ``` ### Logout This command removes the stored API key from your keyring. ```bash anaconda auth logout ``` ## Configuration Configuration comes from multiple sources. When the same setting appears in more than one place, the highest-priority source wins: 1. `ANACONDA_AUTH_*` environment variables (highest priority) 2. `.env` file in the current working directory 3. Site settings (`[sites.]`) in `/.anaconda/config.toml` 4. Global plugin settings (`[plugin.auth]`) in `/.anaconda/config.toml` 5. Conda context (proxy servers, SSL settings) from `.condarc` ### Site configuration Use `anaconda sites add` to register the Anaconda Platform domain you want to authenticate against: ```bash anaconda sites add --domain <FQDN> --default ``` Replace \ with the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) you want to authenticate against. This writes a `[sites]` entry to `.anaconda/config.toml` and sets it as the default site. To verify, run `anaconda sites list`. For the full list of site management commands, see sites. If you are using anaconda.com, no site configuration is needed. All of the parameters in the table below can be set per-site in a `[sites.]` section. When a parameter is not set on the site, the value from `[plugin.auth]` is used as a fallback. For more information on site configuration, see the sites command reference. ### Global options The `[plugin.auth]` section of `/.anaconda/config.toml` sets defaults that apply across all sites. Every parameter can also be set via an `ANACONDA_AUTH_` environment variable or a `.env` file.

These tools can be used to issue and/or set access tokens, and help distinguish yourself from other users in the Anaconda ecosystem. There are two types of access tokens your organization can use: * **Individual access tokens**: Your individual access token provides access to use packages from your organization&`#39`;s channels. Each user in an organization has a unique access token, unless the organization is using a site token for access. * **Site token**: A site token is an access token that is *used by the entire organization*. This one token can authenticate any organization member. Site tokens are provided to users by organization administrators. You do not need to be assigned a seat if your organization is using a site token. ## Issuing and setting your token You must be assigned a seat within your organization to issue yourself a token. If you have not been assigned a seat, speak with your organization administrator. Your organization access token grants conda access to your organization&`#39`;s channels and packages. To issue and set your token, run the following command: ```sh theme={null} anaconda token install ``` If you belong to more than one organization, you are prompted to select which organization to issue a token for. ## Reissuing a token You can reissue a token using `anaconda-auth` or from your Anaconda.com organization. Reissuing a token invalidates your previously issued token. 1. Open Anaconda Prompt (Terminal on macOS/Linux). 2. Issue and set a new token: ```sh theme={null} anaconda token install ``` 1. Navigate to your Organizations page. 2. Under Org Management, select **Token Access**. 3. Click **Reissue token**. Your new token displays until copied. An automated email containing your new token is also delivered to the email address associated with your Anaconda account. After copying your new token, run `anaconda token install ` to set it. All newly issued tokens are set to expire when your organization&`#39`;s subscription expires. ## Synchronizing your token Tokens have a lifespan that is tied to your organization&`#39`;s subscription, and expire either 30 days after the organization&`#39`;s subscription has ended or immediately if the subscription has been cancelled. *Renewing your subscription does not automatically extend the lifespan of your token.* If you&`#39`;ve renewed your subscription and want to retain your current token, synchronize your token to extend its lifespan to your organization&`#39`;s new subscription expiration date. To synchronize your token: 1. Go to your organization&`#39`;s page. 2. Under Org Management, select **Token Access**. 3. Click **Sync token**. ## Viewing tokens To view the tokens installed on your system, run the following command: ```sh theme={null} anaconda token list ```</excerpt> </source> </source_evidence> Citations: - 1: https://www.anaconda.com/docs/getting-started/main-x - 2: https://www.anaconda.com/docs/anaconda-platform/getting-started-with-anaconda-platform - 3: https://www.anaconda.com/docs/cli-reference/anaconda-auth/getting-started - 4: https://www.anaconda.com/docs/anaconda-platform/cloud/user/tokens.md

Install anaconda-auth before anaconda login.

The documented flow installs Miniconda and then runs anaconda login, but it does not install or update anaconda-auth. Current main-x guidance requires updating anaconda-auth in the base environment. Older versions can reject main-x package access. Add the prerequisite:

Suggested fix

+conda update --name base anaconda-auth anaconda login

This is a minor documentation gap with a simple workaround, not a major issue.
