Omniverse Authentication#

Note

These steps are only required if you are extending Isaac Lab Arena with your own internal assets. Assets and files that are used by Isaac Lab Arena by default are publicly available without additional authentication (i.e. without performing the steps detailed on this page).

To allow the project to access Nvidia Omniverse assets or services e.g., stored scenes, USD files, or extensions on a private Nucleus server, you must authenticate using an Omniverse API token.

Isaac Sim and other Nvidia Omniverse applications use two environment variables OMNI_USER and OMNI_PASS to authenticate automatically.

To generate those, follow the instructions on the Omniverse Authentication documentation.

export OMNI_USER='$omni-api-token'
export OMNI_PASS=<your_generated_api_token>

Where:

  • OMNI_USER should be set to the literal string $omni-api-token (including the leading dollar sign)

  • OMNI_PASS should be the actual token value you generated.
