To onboard an IED, you must first add the IED configuration. To add the IED configuration, use the following command:
$ cat ~/my_password.txt | iectl config add device \
--name "device-config-dev" \ # name of the config
--url "https://device-url.com" \ # your Device url
--user email@siemens.com \ # email address registered on IED
--password "password" # password of the IED 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".
