config Command Group¤

List and edit configs as well as get config values.

Configurations are identified by the section identifier in the
config file. Each configuration represent a Corporate Memory deployment
with its specific access method as well as credentials.

A minimal configuration which uses client credentials has the following
entries:


[example.org]
CMEM_BASE_URI=https://cmem.example.org/
OAUTH_GRANT_TYPE=client_credentials
OAUTH_CLIENT_ID=cmem-service-account
OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=my-secret-account-pass

Note that OAUTH_GRANT_TYPE can be either client_credentials, password or
prefetched_token.

In addition to that, the following config parameters can be used as well:


SSL_VERIFY=False    - for ignoring certificate issues (not recommended)
DP_API_ENDPOINT=URL - to point to a non-standard DataPlatform location
DI_API_ENDPOINT=URL - to point to a non-standard DataIntegration location
OAUTH_TOKEN_URI=URL - to point to an external IdentityProvider location
OAUTH_USER=username - only if OAUTH_GRANT_TYPE=password
OAUTH_PASSWORD=password - only if OAUTH_GRANT_TYPE=password
OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN=token - only if OAUTH_GRANT_TYPE=prefetched_token

In order to get credential information from an external process, you can
use the parameter OAUTH_PASSWORD_PROCESS, OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET_PROCESS and
OAUTH_ACCESS_TOKEN_PROCESS to setup an external executable.


OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET_PROCESS=/path/to/getpass.sh
OAUTH_PASSWORD_PROCESS=["getpass.sh", "parameter1", "parameter2"]

The credential executable can use the cmemc environment for fetching the
credential (e.g. CMEM_BASE_URI and OAUTH_USER).
If the credential executable is not given with a full path, cmemc
will look into your environment PATH for something which can be executed.
The configured process needs to return the credential on the first line
of stdout. In addition to that, the process needs to exit with exit
code 0 (without failure). There are examples available in the online
manual.

config list¤

List configured connections.

Usage
$ cmemc config list

This command lists all configured connections from the currently used config file.

The connection identifier can be used with the --connection option in order to use a specific Corporate Memory instance.

In order to apply commands on more than one instance, you need to use typical unix gear such as xargs or parallel.

Example
$ cmemc config list | xargs -I % sh -c 'cmemc -c % admin status'
Example
$ cmemc config list | parallel --jobs 5 cmemc -c {} admin status

config edit¤

Edit the user-scope configuration file.

Usage
$ cmemc config edit

config get¤

Get the value of a known cmemc configuration key.

Usage
$ cmemc config get [CMEM_BASE_URI|SSL_VERIFY|REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE|DP_API_END
             POINT|DI_API_ENDPOINT|OAUTH_TOKEN_URI|OAUTH_GRANT_TYPE|OAUTH_USER
             |OAUTH_PASSWORD|OAUTH_CLIENT_ID|OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET|OAUTH_ACCESS_
             TOKEN]

In order to automate processes such as fetching custom API data from multiple Corporate Memory instances, this command provides a way to get the value of a cmemc configuration key for the selected deployment.

Example
$ curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $(cmemc -c my admin token)" $(cmemc -c my config get DP_API_ENDPOINT)/api/custom/slug

The commands return with exit code 1 if the config key is not used in the current configuration.

config eval¤

Export all configuration values of a configuration for evaluation.

Usage
$ cmemc config eval [OPTIONS]

The output of this command is suitable to be used by a shells eval command. It will output the complete configuration as export key="value" statements. This allows for preparation of a shell environment.

Example
$ eval $(cmemc -c my config eval)

Warning

Please be aware that credential details are shown in cleartext with this command.

Options 
--unset     Instead of export all configuration keys, this option will unset
            all key.
