General Usage
To obtain an access token for a specific account configuration you have to pass the shortname to oidc-token: oidc-token <shortname>
This will print the access token to stdout
. This enables several use cases:
print the token to
stdout
and copy-paste it where you need it.put the token in an environment variable:
export OIDC_AT=`oidc-token shortname`
.use the
-c
(or similar) option to put the token into an environment variable:eval `oidc-token -c <shortname>`
pipe the token to a programm that reads a token from
stdin
:oidc-token shortname | iReadATokenFromStdIn
.use the
oidc-token
directly in the needed command:curl -H 'Authorization: Bearer `oidc-token shortname`' example.com
.use the
--auth-header
option to simplify api calls:curl -H "$(oidc-token shortname)" example.com
Instead of using oidc-token <shortname>
you also can do oidc-token <issuer_url>
. While usually using the shortname is shorter there are also use cases for using the issuer url.
