NAME
       glab-auth-dpop-gen  -  Generate	a DPoP (demonstrating-proof-of-posses-
       sion) proof JWT.	(EXPERIMENTAL)

SYNOPSIS
       glab auth dpop-gen [flags]

DESCRIPTION
       Generates a demonstrating-proof-of-possession (DPoP) proof JSON Web To-
       ken (JWT).  DPoP	cryptographically  binds  personal  access  tokens  to
       their owners.

       Use  the	 JWT with a personal access token (PAT)	to authenticate	to the
       GitLab API.  glab signs the JWT with your SSH private key. The JWT  re-
       mains valid for five minutes. After it expires, generate	another	one.

       Prerequisites:

       • An SSH	key pair in RSA, ed25519, or ECDSA format.

       • Enabled  DPoP	for  your  account  <https://docs.gitlab.com/user/pro-
	 file/personal_access_tokens/#use-dpop-with-personal-access-tokens>.

       This feature is an experiment and is not	ready for production use.   It
       might  be  unstable  or removed at any time.  For more information, see
       https://docs.gitlab.com/policy/development_stages_support/.

OPTIONS
       --hostname="gitlab.com"	    The	hostname of the	GitLab instance	to au-
       thenticate with.

       --pat=""	     Personal access token (PAT) to generate a DPoP proof for.
       Defaults	to the token set with 'glab auth login'.

       -p, --private-key=""	 Location of the private SSH key on the	 local
       system.

OPTIONS	INHERITED FROM PARENT COMMANDS
       -h, --help[=false]      Show help for this command.

EXAMPLE
       # Generate a DPoP JWT using an SSH private key and a personal access token
       glab auth dpop-gen --private-key	"~/.ssh/id_rsa"	--pat "glpat-xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx"

       # Generate a DPoP JWT without a PAT (uses the token from	'glab auth login')
       glab auth dpop-gen --private-key	"~/.ssh/id_rsa"

       # Generate a DPoP JWT for a different GitLab instance
       glab auth dpop-gen --private-key	"~/.ssh/id_rsa"	--hostname "https://gitlab.com"
