$ docker login images.sbgenomics.com

This returns a prompt for your Seven Bridges credentials, and then, if satisfied, gives you access to the Seven Bridges registry. Don't forget to add images.sbgenomics.com to this command, or else the utility will attempt to log you in to the Docker Hub registry.

You can enter your username in any of the following three ways:

• In the same format as when logging in to the Platform (including uppercase, periods etc.).
• In lower case, while replacing non-alphanumeric characters with underscores.
• As the email address you used to register for the account on the Platform.

You should enter your authentication token in response to the password prompt, not your Seven Bridges password.
