Phase 2:  Earthdata Login and Launchpad Both Enabled (Current Implementation)
During Phase 2, the MMT will offer users the option to authenticate with both URS and Launchpad credentials.  Similarly, the CMR REST APIs will accept both URS and Launchpad tokens for authentication during this time.  During this period, the CMR and MMT teams will communicate the full transition plan to our users.  It is our hope that during this phase, all users will undergo the steps necessary to enable Launchpad authentication for themselves, in preparation of Phase 3 when Earthdata Login credentials will no longer be accepted for CMR ingest requests and access to the MMT.

The deadline for DAAC transition to Launchpad is 12.31.2021. 

Phase 3:  Launchpad Authentication Only
When we transition to Phase 3, the MMT will stop offering users the ability to log in using their Earthdata Login credentials, and the CMR REST APIs will stop accepting Earthdata Login tokens for ingest requests.  All users must be fully compliant with the Launchpad Authentication process at this time, or you will not be able to ingest, update, or delete metadata using the CMR REST API or access the MMT.

*Note: Launchpad access to the SIT environment is restricted to CMR application developers. Please contact CMR OPS if you require Launchpad access to CMR-SIT: cmr-support@nasa.gov

Step 3:  Link your Earthdata Login and Launchpad accounts by logging into the MMT

The MMT is set up to automatically link your EDL and Launchpad accounts the first time you log into the app using Launchpad, so even users who don't typically use the MMT for their data ingest workflows can follow these steps to simplify the account linking process. 

Once your MMT NAMS request has been approved and your account has been provisioned, your Launchpad credentials can be used to access the MMT by selecting the "Login with Launchpad" button on the MMT home page:
