The examples presented in this article are based on the simple file transfer example described in the The YADE Client Command Line Interface - Tutorial 1 - Getting Started article. This tutorial describes the configuration required to download a number of files from a online server provided by the SOS GmbH and save these file on the user's local file system. Using this server means that users can get a working example up and running with a minimum of effort. The configuration used in the tutorial us is available as a download. Instructions for installing and configuring the YADE Client can be found in the YADE - Tutorials article.
The configuration provided in the download file will cause six files in the root server folder to be copied to a local /jade_demo/a folder, generating the target folder in the user's home or profile directory if required and permissions are available.
Integrating the Credential Store in a File Transfer Configuration
The use of the Credential Store is specified in YADE Client file transfer configuration files, which are written in XML. We recommend using the SOS XML Editor to edit these files. Instructions for downloading, installing and using the XML Editor are linked from this page.
In the remainder of the current article, it is assumed that readers have made themselves familiar with the organization of the YADE Client file transfer configurations into Profiles and Fragments is described in the Getting Started YADE tutorial linked above.
The following configuration elements are required to specify the use of a Credential Store:
- A Credential Store Fragment
The following information can be retrieved from CS standard fields:
- UserID : The user identification of the a user who is authorized for the operation.
- Password : Assigned password for the user.
- Server-Name : Target server name or IP address
- Notes : In the notes section of the CS other parameters/options can be stored, i.e. YADE parameters, database connection URL etc. The extra options are defined in a similarly way as used on the command line.
- File-Attachment : Files such as PGP or SSH private key files can be stored in the CS as attachments. Applications will retrieve the attached file at run-time and will delete the file immediately once operation is completed.
