10 months ago The command line tools like oidc-gen, oidc-add, oidc-token will prompt on console by default.
The daemon oidc-agent occassionally also has the need to prompt the user and does this via oidc-prompt on the GUI. oidc-agent has no terminal attached so there is no other way.
However, if only the oidc-agent-cli package is installed (not oidc-agent-desktop which is installed by oidc-agent package) then oidc-prompt is not installed and no prompting will / can happen.
However, this might reduce user experience in some use cases, i.e. no autoload is possbile. But of course there are uses cases where this makes sense.
Especially regarding autoload the number of prompts can be greatly reduced by using one of these approaches:
- gpg-based encryption of the configuration
- configure oidc-agent to keep the password in memory
- manually tell oidc-agent to do so by loading with
oidc-add --pw-store
Hi
I've question, is it possible to use oidc-agent without "prompt windows" ? , if yes then how configure ? I mean whole communication between agent and user via console.
Greetings
