Environments authenticate as the project they were created from.

Environments authenticate as the project they were created from.

What proves the identity

The token has to come from https://app.gitpod.io, and its sub claim has to match the workload you named. penv compares that claim byte for byte, with no wildcards.

Every token also has to name your workspace as its audience. Ask for this audience and no other. A token requested for two audiences fails every exchange.

What the console asks for

FieldExampleAdvancedWhat it pins
Organization ID0199a1b2-c3d4-4e5f-8a9b-0c1d2e3f4a5bnoNeeds V3 token configuration, since a V2 organization's subject has another shape.
Project ID0199f0e1-d2c3-4b4a-9857-6d5e4f3a2b1cnoEvery environment created from this project matches.

The console also asks which project and environment this identity reaches and which role it gets, with the credential lifetime behind Advanced.

What the trust holds

Built from the example answers above:

Identity nameona-6d5e4f3a2b1c

penv names the identity for you, so the form never asks for one.

The snippet the console prints

T=$(ona idp token --audience YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID)
C=$(curl -sS "https://penv.cloud/api/v1/auth/oidc" \
  -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d "{\"token\":\"$T\"}" | jq -r .credential)
PENV_TOKEN="$C" penv pull

The snippet finishes with penv pull, which writes a file. penv run is the path the docs teach for a process, and penv pull is for a host that needs a file on disk. Connect your CI has the wrapped step.
