In-memory credential store with yubikey authorization.
Stores a set of ID and VALUE for each KEY. Usually ID is the username and VALUE is the password. Neither field may contain newlines.
Usage:
salvus serve [daemon] [-p PORT] [-e EXPIRY] salvus auth [-p PORT] salvus get <KEY> [-a] [-p PORT] salvus set <KEY> <ID> [-a] [-p PORT] salvus list [-a] [-p PORT] salvus kill [-p PORT] salvus ping [-p PORT] salvus -h
Options:
| -h, --help | This help |
| -p PORT | Port to listen to (always on localhost) [default: 59999] |
| -e EXPIRY | Auth expiry in seconds, if 0 then get, set
and list requires -a [default: 3600] |
| -a | Add auth to each command, so requires yubikey OTP |
All errors are printed on stderr and the exit code will be non-zero.
If exit code is zero, the output will either be blank or in the case
of get two lines, first the ID and second the secret.
When yubikey OTP (one time password) is needed, the prompt is output on stderr, so it can be separated from the desired output.
Starting the server:
salvus server
Enter a recognition phrase used to identify that this is the server you trust.
Touch the yubikey and the server starts on the default port.
Setting a credential:
salvus set github philipbergen
You will be prompted on stdout to enter the secret, press enter when you are done.
Getting a credential:
salvus get github
First line in the output on stdout is the ID (username) and the second is the secret (password).
If you have set up zero expiry (auth on each request), then you need
to add -a to each call to get, set or list. In the
case of get, you can separate prompts from results easily, since
results are the only thing on stdout:
salvus get github -a > userpass
That will output Please touch the yubikey: on stderr, and the file
userpass will contain two lines, the first is the username and the
second line is password.
Killing the server:
salvus kill
This obviously requires yubikey OTP.
Pinging the server:
salvus ping
Never needs yubikey OTP. The only relevant output is the exit code, zero for server running, non-zero (and a reason on stderr) for connect failed.
