Using DCLI with a
Credential Store File
To avoid entering
the user name and password each time you run a DCLI command, you can add the
current credentials or refresh token and server IP address to a credential
store file by using the
credstore-add
option on
the command line.
Passwords and refresh tokens
are encrypted in the credential store file. If you want to remove credential
store information, you can use
+credstore-remove
to do
so.
By default, the credential
store file is located in
$HOME/.dcli/.dcli_credstore
,
but you can change the location with the
+credstore-file
option.

The following examples
illustrate how you can interact with the credential store.
