pass phrase prompting when using ConfigFileAuthenticationDetailsProvider

[roeycohen]

Hi.

When using ConfigFileAuthenticationDetailsProvider, is it possible to pass the passphrase from the user's input?

from the code it seems the passphrase should be set in the config file...

oci-typescript-sdk/lib/common/lib/auth/config-file-auth.ts

Line 120 in e299503

const passPhrase = file.get("pass_phrase");

but that would be less secure comparing to the user is typing it in the prompt when possible.

Thanks!

Hi @roeycohen I don't think there is a prompt to ask passphrase while running the program.

hi @jyotisaini indeed there isn't.
But I'd like to type the passphrase myself and pass it to the ConfigFileAuthenticationDetailsProvider...

Do it in two steps. Here's my Bun snippet using Zenity to input the passphrase:

const fileprovider: oci.ConfigFileAuthenticationDetailsProvider = new oci.ConfigFileAuthenticationDetailsProvider();
 
const cmd = ["/bin/zenity", "--entry", "--width", "300", "--title", "OCI", "--text", "Private key passphrase", "--hide-text"]
const cmdproc = Bun.spawn(cmd)
const keypassphrase = (await Bun.readableStreamToText(cmdproc.stdout)).trim()

const simpleprovider: oci.SimpleAuthenticationDetailsProvider = new oci.SimpleAuthenticationDetailsProvider(
    fileprovider.getTenantId(),
    fileprovider.getUser(),
    fileprovider.getFingerprint(),
    fileprovider.getPrivateKey(),
    keypassphrase,
    fileprovider.getRegion()
)
