How do I create HMAC credentials for IBM Cloud Object Storage using the CLI?

Question

I am using the IBM Cloud CLI and tried to generate credentials for my cloud object storage service. However, the following command does not create HMAC credentials needed for us

Answer 1

The trick is to provide an additional parameter that tells the service to generate the HMAC part, too:

ibmcloud resource service-key-create cos-hmac-cli Writer \
--instance-name myobjectstorage --parameters '{"HMAC":true}'

The --parameters '{"HMAC":true}' adds the feature request in JSON format.
