# login

The cldkctl registry login command authenticates users with a container registry using their credentials. This command allows users to log in by providing a username and password, granting access to manage repositories, artifacts, and registry settings. Before using this command, ensure your Docker daemon is running.

## Usage

```
cldkctl registry login [flags]
```

## Steps

Follow the steps below to run and view the result of this command:

1. Make sure the Docker daemon is active on your system.
2. Use the `--registry` global flag to specify which registry you want to access.
3. Run the following command in your terminal and replace `<registry_name>` with your target registry name.

```
cldkctl --registry <registry_name> registry login
```

4. When prompted, enter your user login password (the same password used to log in to the Service Portal AI).
5. After successful authentication, the message **“Login to registry success”** will appear.
