To onboard an IED, you must also add the IEM configuration of the IEM in which the IED will be onboarded. To add the IEM configuration, use the following command:

$ cat ~/my_password.txt | iectl config add iem \
             --name "iem-config-dev" \                         # name of the config
             --url "https://portaldev7.siemenspx.us" \         # your IEM url 
             --user email@siemens.com \                        # email address registered on IEM
             --password "password"                             # password of the IEM user

NOTICE

We recommend using the `--password-stdin` option instead of `--password`, as it allows you to securely pass a password to a command through standard input (stdin) rather than typing it directly in the command. This prevents the password from being exposed in shell history or process lists, enhancing security. For more information, refer to the guide: ["How to use --password-stdin"](./password-stdin.md).
