aboard approve

aboard approve <code> [--refuse] [--yes] [--server URL] [--json]

Approves the code a new machine of yours shows after aboard connect <server URL>: that machine receives an access key of its own, as you, named after the machine and expiring after 90 days without use. A code works only for the person the machine named; for anyone else it is refused like a wrong code. Your own key isn’t copied, and revoking it later leaves the new machine’s key working. It first shows the request: the name the machine gave itself, which is only its own claim, and where and when it asked; then it asks whether to approve it connecting as you. Approve only a request you started yourself, a moment ago: whoever runs that machine is signed in as you. --refuse turns the request down instead, and the machine is told so. The server is --server, else the one this directory’s .aboard names, else this machine’s default server, else the one server this machine is connected to, else the local server. Approving is up to a person, so it refuses inside an agent’s session, and the server refuses agent and browser tokens.
