Details

The register command adds details of a controller to the local system. This is done either by completing the user registration process that began with the ‘juju add-user’ command, or by providing the DNS host name of a public controller.

To complete the user registration process, you should have been provided with a base64-encoded blob of data (the output of ‘juju add-user’) which can be copied and pasted as the <string> argument to ‘register’. You will be prompted for a password, which, once set, causes the registration string to be voided. In order to start using Juju the user can now either add a model or wait for a model to be shared with them. Some machine providers will require the user to be in possession of certain credentials in order to add a model.

If a new controller has been spun up to replace an existing one, and you want to start using that replacement controller instead of the original one, use the –replace option to overwrite any existing controller details based on either a name or UUID match.

When adding a controller at a public address, authentication via some external third party (for example Ubuntu SSO) will be required, usually by using a web browser.
