credentials

We have a docker container running on an ec2 host. Within that docker container we run some aws cli commands. We haven't defined any AWS credentials within the container. This implies that the container inherits Instance Profile of the host ec2. Is my assumption true? If so, how exactly does the container inherit the instance profile credentials? Secondly (possibly related) what exactly does the aws cli do to obtain the instance profile credentials? Does it make a call to the metadata endpoint (169.254.169.254)? For example if the credentials are picked up from the environment variables, the

Context: I'm writing VSIX Extension for Visual Studio 2017 which needs connection to REST API that requires user authentication. I decide to use VSPackage to provide service for my extension. To be able to connect and authenticate users I would like to store somewhere user credentials, it could be either username and password or OAuth token - doesn't matter. Question: What will be the best place to store credentials information for VSIX? Requirements: Credentials should not be stored as plain text Should not be stored in text file Should be stored per user (We can have more then one windows

I tried adding 'credential-osxkeychain' I followed these steps , but it has not installed correctly. I no longer want it. How can I stop git from calling it (when I do a pull)? Thank you! git pull git: 'credential-osxkeychain' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. Username for 'https://github.com': jzone3 Password for 'https://jzone3@github.com': git: 'credential-osxkeychain' is not a git command. See 'git --help'. I ended up deleting osxkeychain from the config file. git config --global --edit It seems MacPorts packages the keychain helper and that might be why it wasn't coming up as a

I'm wondering what techniques you use to store the database credentials for your application. I'm specifically concerned with java webapps, but I don't think there's any need to limit the questions to that. things to consider: Do you use property files,xml configs, other? Is it bundled into your application(ie in a jar file) or stored seperately on the file system somewhere? Is the password encrypted? If so, what encryption scheme do you use? Since you're leaving the question open to platform, I'll add that database credentials for .NET apps are stored in the web.config file. From version 2.0

I've read a lot of articles and answers but I couldn't work it out. I'm using .NET Framework 4.0 on my project. So, I first added the WebService as a Service Reference and get the bindings on my app.config. And I'm going to be listing my attempts Attempt #1 I instantiated the service like this and added the credentials: On App.Config <binding name="SubscriptionWSImplServiceSoapBinding" > <security mode="TransportWithMessageCredential"> <transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/> </security> </binding> SubscriptionWSImplServiceClient ClientWs = new SubscriptionWSImplServiceClient(); ClientWs

This page and many like it gives instructions for setting up the osxkeychain credential helper with git. I've followed these instructions; everything seemed to work fine. I can see that my username and password in the Keychain Access application are correct and that git-credential-osxkeychain has access to the github.com record. When I type git config -l I can see the entry credential.helper=osxkeychain as well as correct user.name and user.email entries. When I run git credential-osxkeychain I see the usage message I'm apparently supposed to. At no point do I receive an error message.
