oidc-agent - Man Page

OIDC token agent

Synopsis

oidc-agent [OPTION...]

Description

oidc-agent -- An agent to manage oidc token

General:

--always-allow-idtoken Always allow id-token requests without manual

approval by the user.

-a,  --socket-path=PATH, --bind_address=PATH

Create the UNIX-domain used for communicating with the agent at this PATH. The default is '$TMPDIR/oidc-XXXXXX/oidc-agent.<ppid>'. Use 'XXXXXX' as the last six characters of a directory in the path to substitute them with random characters.

-c,  --confirm

Requires user confirmation when an application requests an access token for any loaded configuration

--json

Print agent socket and pid as JSON instead of bash.

-k,  --kill

Kill the current agent (given by the OIDCD_PID environment variable)

--no-autoload

Disables the autoload feature: A token request cannot load the needed configuration. You have to do it with oidc-add.

--no-autoreauthenticate,  --no-auto-reauthenticate

Disables the automatic re-authentication feature: If a refresh token expired the re-atuhentiacte is not started automatically; you have to do it manually.

--no-scheme

This option applies only when the authorization code flow is used. oidc-agent will not use a custom uri scheme redirect.

--no-webserver

This option applies only when the authorization code flow is used. oidc-agent will not start a webserver. Redirection to oidc-gen through a custom uri scheme redirect uri and 'manual' redirect is possible.

--quiet

Disable informational messages to stdout.

-t,  --lifetime=TIME

Sets a default value in seconds for the maximum lifetime of account configurations added to the agent. A lifetime specified for an account configuration with oidc-add overwrites this default value. Without this option the default maximum lifetime is forever.

--with-group[=GROUP_NAME]

This option allows that applications running under another user can access the agent. The user running the other application and the user running the agent have to be in the specified group. If no GROUP_NAME is specified the default is 'oidc-agent'.

Verbosity:

-d,  --console

Runs oidc-agent on the console, without daemonizing.

-g,  --debug

Sets the log level to DEBUG.

--log-stderr

Additionally prints log messages to stderr.

--status

Connects to the currently running agent and prints status information about it.

Help:

-?,  --help

Give this help list

--usage

Give a short usage message

-V,  --version

Print program version

Mandatory or optional arguments to long options are also mandatory or optional for any corresponding short options.
