Configure the PLOSSYS CLI Environment

When using an OIDC identity provider for user authentication, the following environment variables have to be set in Linux for calling PLOSSYS CLI:

  • AUTH_CLIENT_ID: Client name configured in the OIDC identity provider for the seal-plossycli client, by default seal-plossyscli

  • AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET: Client secret generated in the OIDC identity provider for the seal-plossycli client (required).

  • AUTH_ISSUER_URL: The OIDC identity provider's auth issuer URL (required).

  • CONSUL_URL: URL of the Consul server (required if PLOSSYS CLI is executed on a server different to the Output Engine server for managing the jobs and printers)

  • ID_PROVIDER_NAME: The name of the OIDC identity provider (required for some identity providers).

Example - environment variables for PLOSSYS CLI

AUTH_CLIENT_ID=seal-plossyscli

AUTH_CLIENT_SECRET=<client_secret_plossyscli>

AUTH_ISSUER_URL=https://p5_server:32769/realms/SEAL

CONSUL_URL=https://p5_server:8500

Hint - changed AUTH_ISSUER_URL as of Keycloak 21.0.1

As of SEAL-specific Keycloak version 21.0.1, the URL needed for `AUTH_ISSUER_URL has been changed.

  • old value: AUTH_ISSUER_URL=https://<hostname>:32769/auth/realms/SEAL

  • new value: AUTH_ISSUER_URL=https://<hostname>:32769/realms/SEAL

Literature - keys

For further information about the keys, refer to the description of the Service Keys.

Caution - validity

The environment variables set globally in Linux are valid for other services as well, seal-plossysadmin for example. Make sure that the settings for seal-plossysadmin are specified explicitly in the configuration, refer to Configure the PLOSSYS Administrator Environment.
