CLIs

There are various CLIs (command-line interfaces) that uses the Java SDK to interact with a secondary server.

Prerequisite

To run the CLIs:

  1. Edit settings in at_client/src/main/resources/config.yaml
  2. cd to at_java/at_client and run mvn install
  3. Run java -cp "target/client-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar:target/lib/*" org.atsign.client.cli.<CLI> <args>. Replace “<CLI>” with one of the CLIs (Register, Get, Scan,…) and “<args>” with

List of CLIs

If you want to interact with the atProtocol through a command-line experience, see our CLIs in src/main/java/org/atsign/client/cli/. Note that to use some CLIs, you must have the keys in a keys/ directory in the root project.

  • Delete - delete AtKeys that you’ve shared with another atSign
  • Get - get AtKeys that you’ve shared with another atSign
  • Onboard - authenticate with CRAM and generate your PKI keypair
  • Register - register an atSign (uses Onboard CLI)
  • Scan - see what keys you have and view metadata
  • Share - share an AtKey with another atSign
  • REPL - use raw atProtocol

Registerto claim a free atsign. Requires one-time-password received on the provided email to validate. Registers the free atsign to provided email.email
Onboardutility which ‘onboards’ a new atSign. Once onboarding is complete it creates the all-important keys file. Onboard is a subset of RegisterrootUrl, atSign, cramSecret
Shareshare something with another atSignrootUrl, your AtSign, other AtSign, keyName to share, including namespace, keyValue to share, a string, ttr,
