End-user database Workflow

Here is an example workflow for connecting to a database:

1. Install Ark SDK:

   go install github.com/cyberark/ark-sdk-golang
   

   Make sure that the PATH environment variable points to the Go binary. For example:

   export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin
   

2. Create a profile:
   • Interactively:

     ark configure
     

   • Silently:

     ark configure --silent --work-with-isp --isp-username myuser
     

3. Log in to Ark:

   ark login --silent --isp-secret <my-ark-secret>
   

4. Get a short-lived SSO password for a database from the SIA service:

   ark exec sia sso short-lived-password
   

5. Log in directly to the database:

   psql "host=mytenant.postgres.cyberark.cloud user=user@cyberark.cloud.12345@postgres@mypostgres.fqdn.com"
