AuthenticationYou can
authenticate to

administrators in your organization. After you receive a
refresh token, you can provide it to DCLI when prompted. DCLI prompts for a
refresh token when you try to access
VMware

.
./dcli +vmc +i Refresh Token:
The refresh token is provided in
a secure way. Be careful that you are using the copy/paste functionality of
your terminal correctly to avoid pasting the refresh token more than once.
After you provide the refresh token, DCLI asks whether you want to save it to
the credential store. If you choose to save the refresh token, you will not
need to provide it each time you connect to
VMware
