IONOS Cloud application

IONOS Cloud is a European cloud infrastructure platform. MIA connects to it to inventory the active users in your contract and manage their access.

Authentication type and prerequisites

Authentication type — API key

Prerequisites

• Be an owner or administrator of the IONOS Cloud contract so you can manage its users.
• Have a valid IONOS Cloud authentication token.
• When adding a user from MIA, set a password that complies with the contract's password policy.

Create an authentication token

1. In the Data Center Designer, open Menu → Management → Token Manager.
2. Generate a token dedicated to MIA, then copy it and keep it secure.

You can also use the IONOS CLI after signing in with ionosctl login:

ionosctl token generate

Connect IONOS Cloud to MIA

1. In MIA, open Applications → Add an application.
2. Search for IONOS Cloud, paste the token, then click Connect.
3. MIA imports the contract's active users.

Access management behavior

• MIA creates new users as non-administrators, using the password entered when access is opened.
• A user created through the API initially has limited permissions. Assign the required groups and resources from Users & Groups in IONOS Cloud afterwards.
• Closing access from MIA deletes the user from the IONOS Cloud contract.

For technical details, see the official Cloud API v6 documentation, user and group management, and the Token Manager.
