In principle, vmcatcher subscriptions to private image lists could be realized by following Basic Authentication as defined in RFC2617.

• First, you should be granted (by the owner or anyone else who is authorized to give you that kind of permission) with at least Access Private Data permission.
• and then, you should need a valid Personal Access Token. Please, read here how to create one.

• Now, lets assume, that the private image list URI (read here how to locate the URI) you would like to subscribe to, is at:

https://vmcaster.appdb.egi.eu/store/vappliance/demo.va.private/image.list

• and your personal access token is:

abcdefg-1234-1a2b-3c4f-123456790

• Then, you should issue the command:

vmcatcher_subscribe --auto-endorse -s \
   https://abcdefg-1234-1a2b-3c4f-123456790:x-oauth-basic@vmcaster.appdb.egi.eu/store/vappliance/demo.va.private/image.list

for more information about HEPiX VMCatcher, please read the manual.

In short, you should handle your personal access token as the 'username' and x-oauth-basic as the 'password' for basic Authentication over HTTPS.
