client v0.65.0 Hey all, How can my lakefs user rely on e-mail / password instead of access key id and secret access key (as requested in the image attached)? I couldn't find any way to set e-mail / password via the UI.

Hey, @Gal Bachar In order to use email/password authentication you would need to set up an smtp server and configure lakeFS to use it. You could check out https://docs.lakefs.io/reference/configuration.html#reference for the relevant configurations.

Thanks for the reference!

No problem, let me know if you I could help in any way

@Guy Hardonag, I'll probably leave email/pass authentication for some other time. Just out of curiosity, what do LakeFS credentials have to do with an email transfer protocol? At first, I guessed it would simply let me define them via the UI. I was kinda surprised by your answer.

Basically, for Email/Password authentication to work the email should be verified, for that lakeFS needs the capability to send email. Configuring an SMTP server will add functionality of

invite-user

and

forgot password

Thanks for the elaboration!

@Guy Hardonag we should probably open an issue to explain this in the docs? 🙂
