- **Scalability**: Dynamic secret management systems can scale more effectively to handle a large number of services and applications, as they automate much of the overhead associated with manual secret management.

Dynamic secrets are particularly useful in environments with stringent security requirements, such as cloud environments, distributed systems, and microservices architectures, where they help to manage database credentials, API keys, service tokens, and other types of secrets.

|

To use Machine Identities with the CLI, you need to authenticate with the Infisical API using the identity's access token. Here's how you can do it.
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
export INFISICAL_TOKEN=$(infisical login --method=universal-auth --client-id=<your-identity-client-id> --client-secret=<your-identity-client-secret> --silent --plain)
|
||||
infisical secrets --env dev --projectId=<your-project-id>
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
The CLI is built to look for the `INFISICAL_TOKEN` environment variable. You can also pass the universal auth token as a `--token` flag to most commands.

To interact with various resources in Infisical, users are able to utilize a number of authentication methods:
|

- **Email & Password**: the most common authentication method that is used for authentication into Web Dashboard and Infisical CLI. It is recommended to utilize [Multi-factor Authentication](/documentation/platform/mfa) in addition to it.
|
||||
- **Service Tokens**: Service tokens allow users authenticate into CLI and other clients under their own identity. For the majority of use cases, it is not a recommended approach. Instead, it is often a good idea to utilize [Machine Identities](./machine-identities) with [Universal Authentication](/documentation/platform/identities/universal-auth).
|
||||
- **SSO**: Infisical natively integrates with a number of SSO identity providers like [Google](/documentation/platform/sso/google), [GitHub](/documentation/platform/sso/github), and [GitLab](/documentation/platform/sso/gitlab).
|
||||
- **SAML SSO**: It is also possible to set up SAML SSO integration with identity providers like [Okta](/documentation/platform/sso/okta), [Microsoft Entra ID](/documentation/platform/sso/azure) (formerly known as Azure AD), [JumpCloud](/documentation/platform/sso/jumpcloud), [Google](/documentation/platform/sso/google-saml), and more.
|

<Warning>
|

IP allowlisting at the project-level is being replaced with IP allowlisting at the token-level now available with the Service Token V3 authentication method.
|
||||
|
||||
Instead of providing trusted IPs (specific IPs and CIDR ranges) to be applied across all service tokens,
|
||||
you can now specify trusted IPs at the token-level.

Projects in Infisical can be configured to restrict client access to specific IP addresses or CIDR ranges. This applies to any client using service tokens and
|
||||
can be useful, for example, for limiting access to traffic coming from corporate networks.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, each project is initialized with the `0.0.0.0/0` entry, representing all possible IPv4 addresses.
|
||||
For enhanced security, we strongly recommend replacing the default entry with your client IPs to tighten access to your secrets.
|
||||
|
||||
<Note>
|
||||
You must be a project `admin` to manage your project's IP whitelist.

</Note>

|

|

## Creating a trusted IP entry
|
||||
|
||||
To create a trusted IP entry, head over to the **IP Whitelist** tab in your project. When creating an entry,
|
||||
you can specify either a specific IP address like `192.0.2.1` or a CIDR range like `2001:db8::/32`; both IPv4 and IPv6
|
||||
formats are accepted.
