IBM Watson Assistant: How to get IAM key for v1 watson assistant services

Question

我有一个使用用户名和密码格式的IBM Watson Assistant服务，现在我想创建新的凭证，该凭证应具有用于该服务的IAM密钥，请让我们知道如何实现此目的。

Answer 1

There are (at least) two options to obtain IAM credentials for you IBM Watson Assistant service:

1. In the browser, go to the service dashboard by going to the IBM Cloud resources portal , locate your service instance, click on it and then in its dashboard on Service credentials . There you can create new credentials .
2. In a terminal and using the IBM Cloud CLI you can use ibmcloud resource service-key-create to generate credentials.

Both options assume that you have migrated your service instance from Cloud Foundry to IAM .

Answer 2

For creating a new credential, you can directly go to your watson assistant service/resource page, once there, on the left hand side, you would find "Service Credentials" menu button , there you would find an option to create a "New credential" , and once the credential is created, then the "apikey" of that "New credential", would actually be your "IAM key" , which can be viewed by clicking on the "View Credential" button highlighted below in the image.

*This is for IBM Watson Assistant V1 only.

Answer 3

You can also migrate your Cloud Foundry service instance that uses un:pw to one that supports IAM. See Migrating Watson services from Cloud Foundry
