Last updated 2 years ago

oidc-keychain enables re-using between login sessions. Since version 4.3.0 is used to utilize a running agent across sessions. Still accounts are loaded when needed (using ), and the OIDCD_PID and OIDC_SOCK environment variables are set. oidc-keychain is commonly used inside .bash_profile or similar to start oidc-agent when needed.

For example this line in .bash_profile

eval `oidc-keychain --accounts <shortname>`

starts oidc-agent when needed, loads the account if it isn't already loaded, and sets the oidc environment variables so other applications can locate the agent.
