Refresh authentication

When you want to continue working with an existing authenticator, you can refresh the authentications. You can refresh authentications for the following:

  • The login command
  • The exec command

Login command

To try to authenticate with an existing authenticator, use the --refresh-auth CLI flag:

ark login --refresh-auth

The --refresh-auth flag indicates that the user's profile authenticator should be refreshed and used for authentication. The user is only prompted for additional authentication values when the refresh fails.

Exec command

To try to run any command with an existing authenticator, use the --refresh-auth CLI flag: 

ark exec --refresh-auth sia sso short-lived-password

The --refresh-auth flag indicates that the user's profile authenticator should be refreshed and used before executing the command. When the refresh fails, an error is returned and you must log in again.
