podman login command gives error:authenticating credentials

[BODALIA]

Looks like a simple question with a simple answer but it is not working for me in my VMware Rhel9 machine that I have set up. I have successfully installed container-tools, but am unable to log in to the container registry. I am using my username and password that I used to register the machine, the same as the one I use to log in to my course RHCSA Rapid Track

Can anyone help me please?

Thanks,

Usha

Hi Tess,
Thank you so much for persevering and trying out my commands. You are absolutely right, my curl has also re-directed. But how do I still see/access the images from there? The below is what I’ve tried, but I know from my RedHat course RSCSA Rapid Track, that the podman search command with a / lists images in that registry that I can get choose to pull into my system. So, can you tell me what commands to run to get it to work please, as below still does not work; hence I am unable to use containers.
Kind regards,
Usha

I think the reference to crane.registry.redhat.com is misleading. I can just search and download images just fine:

➜ grep redhat.com /etc/containers/registries.conf
unqualified-search-registries = ["registry.fedoraproject.org", "registry.access.redhat.com", "docker.io", "quay.io"]

➜ podman login registry.access.redhat.com
Username: XXXX  <-- it's the same user/password I use for the RH Portal at https://access.redhat.com
