# Obtaining Credentials

To obtain the necessary credentials for accessing the Sodot Rust SDK crate, follow these steps:

1. Enter using this link: https://repo.sodot.dev/

You can browse the private crates repository directly at: [https://repo.sodot.dev/artifactory/sodot-rust-crates/](https://repo.sodot.dev/artifactory/sodot-rust-crates/)

2. Sign in using the **sodot-auth** option

6. Add the following registry configuration to your project's `.cargo/config.toml` file (create one if it doesn't exist):

```toml
[registries.sodot]
index = "sparse+https://repo.sodot.dev/artifactory/api/cargo/sodot-rust-crates/index/"
```

And copy the generated token from the UI (including the `Bearer ` prefix).
Run the following command to add the token to your `.cargo/config.toml` file:

```bash
cargo login --registry sodot
# Input the full token when requested (`Bearer xxxx`)
```

This will add the token to your local credentials store.

:::note
The token is valid for **one year**. Make sure to regenerate it before it expires to avoid service disruptions.
