NAME

Config::Identity - Load (and optionally decrypt via GnuPG) user/pass identity information

VERSION

version 0.0019

SYNOPSIS

PAUSE:

    use Config::Identity::PAUSE;

    # 1. Find either $HOME/.pause-identity or $HOME/.pause
    # 2. Decrypt the found file (if necessary), read, and parse it
    # 3. Throw an exception unless  %identity has 'user' and 'password' defined

    my %identity = Config::Identity::PAUSE->load_check;
    print "user: $identity{user} password: $identity{password}\n";

GitHub API:

    use Config::Identity::GitHub;

    # 1. Find either $HOME/.github-identity or $HOME/.github
    # 2. Decrypt the found file (if necessary) read, and parse it
    # 3. Throw an exception unless %identity has 'login' and 'token' defined

    my %identity = Config::Identity::PAUSE->load_check;
    print "login: $identity{login} token: $identity{token}\n";

DESCRIPTION

Config::Identity is a tool for loading (and optionally decrypting via GnuPG) user/pass identity information

For GitHub API access, an identity is a login/token pair

For PAUSE access, an identity is a user/password pair

USAGE

%identity = Config::Identity->load_best( <stub> )

First attempt to load an identity from $HOME/.<stub>-identity

If that file does not exist, then attempt to load an identity from $HOME/.<stub>

The file may be optionally GnuPG encrypted

%identity will be populated like so:

    <key> <value>

For example:

    username alice
    password hunter2

If an identity file can't be found or read, the method croaks.

%identity = Config::Identity->load_check( <stub>, <checker> )

Works like load_best but also checks for required keys. The checker argument must be an array reference of required keys or a code reference that takes a hashref of key/value pairs from the identity file and returns a list of missing keys. For convenience, the hashref will also be placed in $_.

If any keys are found missing, the method croaks.

Using a custom gpg or passing custom arguments

You can specify a custom gpg executable by setting the CI_GPG environment variable

    export CI_GPG="$HOME/bin/gpg"

You can pass custom arguments by setting the CI_GPG_ARGUMENTS environment variable

    export CI_GPG_ARGUMENTS="--no-secmem-warning"

Encrypting your identity information with GnuPG

If you've never used GnuPG before, first initialize it:

    # Follow the prompts to create a new key for yourself
    gpg --gen-key

To encrypt your GitHub identity with GnuPG using the above key:

    # Follow the prompts, using the above key as the "recipient"
    # Use ^D once you've finished typing out your authentication information
    gpg -ea > $HOME/.github

Caching your GnuPG secret key via gpg-agent

Put the following in your .*rc

    if which gpg-agent 1>/dev/null
    then
        if test -f $HOME/.gpg-agent-info && \
            kill -0 `cut -d: -f 2 $HOME/.gpg-agent-info` 2>/dev/null
        then
            . "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info"
            export GPG_AGENT_INFO
        else
            eval `gpg-agent --daemon --write-env-file "${HOME}/.gpg-agent-info"`
        fi
    else
    fi

PAUSE identity format

    user <user>
    password <password>

username can also be used as alias for user

GitHub identity format

    login <login>
    token <token>
