SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Set up and install credentials for an agent. Detects missing credentials from agent config, collects them from the user, and stores them securely in the local encrypted store at ~/.hive/credentials.

Core Features & Use Cases

Detects missing credentials by inspecting the agent's configuration and known credential specs.
Provides multiple authentication options (Aden OAuth flow or direct API keys) and runs health checks before storing.
Securely stores credentials in the local encrypted store at ~/.hive/credentials and supports exporting to environment variables when appropriate.
Works during initial setup, after failures, and for new agents or updated configurations.

Quick Start

Identify the target agent and initiate credential setup to securely provision required secrets.

Frequently Asked Questions about hive-credentials

FAQPage Schema

How do I securely store API keys and credentials for automation agents?▼

Secure credential storage for automation agents encrypts sensitive data locally at ~/.hive/credentials, ensuring API keys and OAuth tokens never appear in plaintext during automated workflows.

How do I automatically detect missing credentials in an agent configuration?▼

Automatically detect missing credentials by inspecting the agent's configuration and known credential specs, then guide the user through setup to provision required secrets securely.

Can I use an OAuth flow to provision agent credentials instead of direct API keys?▼

OAuth flow provisioning is supported alongside direct API keys, offering multiple authentication options that run health checks before storing credentials in the local encrypted store.

What is the best way to configure multiple credentials for agents in a CI/CD pipeline?▼

Configuring multiple credentials in CI/CD scenarios is handled by detecting missing items from agent configurations and guiding setup, storing secrets locally with encryption for pipeline use.

Why does my agent fail after a credential error, and how do I retry setup?▼

Retry flows after credential errors trigger automatic detection of missing or invalid items, guiding you through re-provisioning to securely restore required secrets for the agent.

Does the local encrypted credential store support exporting to environment variables?▼

Exporting to environment variables is supported by the local encrypted store, allowing securely provisioned credentials to be injected into runtime environments when appropriate.
