Authentication

This section contains step by step guide how to set up authorization files either by using GUI or Terminal.

MacOS

GUI

In Finder, go to your current user home directory by pressing

CMD+SHIFT+H

And subsequently reveal hidden folders by

CMD+SHIFT+.

Now you can create required folders and files manually. To hide folders afterwards, press the same combination.

Terminal

  1. Open Terminal
  2. You should be in your current user home directory. You can check it by executing
pwd

Expected result: /Users/{your_username}

If thats not the case, run

cd ~

Create directories .aws and .gooddata by executing following statements:

mkdir .aws
mkdir .gooddata

First create aws credentials file in the .aws directory:

nano .aws/credentials

Populate the credentials file with appropriate credentials.

Format:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = some_access_key_id
aws_secret_access_key = some_access_key

[customer1]
aws_access_key_id = other_access_key_id
aws_secret_access_key = other_access_key

Save by pressing ctrl+X, Y and Enter.

Now create create profiles.yaml file within the .gooddata folder:

nano .gooddata/profiles.yaml

Format:

default:
  host: https://host.name.cloud.gooddata.com/
  token: some_auth_token

customer:
  host: https://customer.hostname.cloud.gooddata.com/
  token: other_auth_token

Save by pressing ctrl+X, Y and Enter.

Windows

GUI

Navigate to your user folder. That’s C:\Users\USERNAME\ (replace USERNAME with your actual username). Inside create a new folder named .aws, and inside the .aws folder create a file named credentials. The full path should look like this: C:\Users\USERNAME\.aws\credentials.

If you cannot see the .aws file after creating it, ensure you can see hidden files on your computer.

Inside the credentials file set up the necessary AWS credentials in a following format:

[default]
aws_access_key_id = some_access_key_id
aws_secret_access_key = some_access_key

[customer1]
aws_access_key_id = other_access_key_id
aws_secret_access_key = other_access_key

Now, on the same path (C:\Users\USERNAME\) create a new folder named .gooddata. Inside this folder create a file named profiles.yaml. The full path should look like this: C:\Users\USERNAME\.gooddata\profiles.yaml.

Inside the profiles.yaml file set up the necessary GoodData credentials in the following format:

default:
  host: https://host.name.cloud.gooddata.com/
  token: some_auth_token

customer:
  host: https://customer.hostname.cloud.gooddata.com/
  token: other_auth_token
