Use hammer in Red Hat Satellite 6 without a password

Matt

To use hammer without a password, we have to store the credentials in a file under the users home directory.

On the server you have hammer installed create a file called ~/.hammer/cli_config.yml

$ mkdir -p ~/.hammer/log
$ vi ~/.hammer/cli_config.yml

Add the following content, replacing USERNAME and PASSWORD with the username and password for the satellite host specified by HOSTNAME.

:ui:
    :interactive: true
    :per_page: 200
    :history_file:  '~/.hammer/history'
:foreman:
    :host: 'https://HOSTNAME/'
    :username: USERNAME
    :password: PASSWORD
:log_dir: '~/.hammer/log'
:log_level: 'error'

Now we need to lock down access to the file by setting the permissions to the owner only.

$ chmod 600 ~/.hammer/cli_config.yml

You can now use hammer without specifying the username and password each time.

    1. Your comment ended up in my spam box, so i’m not sure if you are genuinely posted this.
      However I don’t filter comments, so I’ve approved it.

      Assuming you are being sarcastic, and pointing out this is not difficult stuff, I agree, it’s not hard. However I’ve made this blog for me, not for anyone else. I don’t profit in any way from it, it’s just a reference for things I forget, and need to find in a hurry.

      If you find it useful, then great, if not, that makes me very sad /s.

      Thanks
