In VantageCloud Lake personal access tokens (PAT) are used with user-defined functions, and the Open Analytics Framework.

To create a PAT, you must have a public key in pem format. You can upload one or generate one here.

Important: You cannot sign in as an admin to create a personal access token. You must be signed in as a database user.
  1. Open Your account then Account settings and scroll down to locate Access tokens and keys.

    2. Create the Key

  2. Select Keys then Create key.
  3. To upload an existing public key:
    1. Select Upload public key.
    2. Enter a Key name.
    3. Paste the public key into the box.
      The key must be in pem format.
    4. Select Save.
  4. To have Teradata generate a key pair:
    1. Select Generate key pair.
    2. Enter a Key name.
    3. Select Generate Private Key.
      The private key half of the pair is generated.
      Important: Teradata does not keep the private key half of the pair. Teradata recommends that you download the private key.
    4. Select the Download <key-name> button to save the private key.
    5. Select Save to save the public key half of the pair.
