CliPass
CliPass is a little tool, written in PHP, to connect and gather data from KeePass 2.x It uses KeePassHttp plugin, as PassIFox for Mozilla Firefox or chromeIPass for Google Chrome.
Features
- simple searching via provided key
- "prefixing" search key - which is useful when using it as a part of bigger shell script
- git-credential-helper output adapter - for simple registering CliPass as git-credential-helper, but only for 'get' method ('store' method is not supported yet)
Requirements
- PHP 5.3 or higher with mcrypt support enabled
- KeePass 2.x with KeePassHttp plugin
Installation
Firstly you must install KeePassHttp plugin into your KeePass installation (https://github.com/pfn/keepasshttp). Then download CliPass https://github.com/bartlomiej-dudala/clipass.git and composer (into the same directory) http://getcomposer.org/download/
And then...
php composer.phar install
Done. :)
Usage
php clipass.php --key=keyToSearchInKeePassDB
php clipass.php --key=keyToSearchInKeePassDB --key-prefix=prefix- #it searches for prefix-keyToSearchInKeePassDB
When you run this tool first time, CliPass tries to associate with KeePass (in the same way as e.g. chromeIPass), and save the "identity" in the ~/clipass.identity file. If you want to remove this association - simply remove this file (or remove association field from "KeePassHttp Settings" entry in KeePass.
At this moment CliPass offers two output adapters:
- only-first-password - gather first entry from KeePass and show only password [default]
- git-credential-helper - for simple connect CliPass with git
Usefull tips
- it is usefull to make an executable file somewhere in the $PATH e.g. /usr/local/bin/clipass
#!/bin/bash
php /pathToCliPass/clipass.php $1 $2 $3 $4- running as git-credential-helper: e.g. /usr/local/bin/git-credential-clipass
clipass --output-adapter=git-credential-helper --key-prefix=git-credential- --git-command=$1- copy password to clipboard (with xclip):
php /pathToCliPass/clipass.php --key=KEY | xclip -i -selection clipboardEnjoy!
