CHALLENGER-ADMIN(1)

✨ CHALLENGER-ADMIN(1) ✨

okay so bestie, welcome to the challenger-admin page from the GNU Taler fam — this is the part of the manual where we learn how to mess with the Challenger client list. let's get into it 💅

🌸 NAME 🌸

challenger-admin — literally the tool that manipulates your list of authorized Challenger clients. that's it, that's the job 🎀

🦋 SYNOPSIS 🦋

challenger-admin [-a CLIENT_SECRET | --add=CLIENT_SECRET]
[-c FILENAME | --config=FILENAME] [-d | --delete] [-h | --help]
[-L LOGLEVEL | --log=LOGLEVEL] [-l FILENAME | --logfile=FILENAME] [-m
CLIENT_ID | --modify-client=CLIENT_ID] [-q | --quiet] [-v | --version]
CLIENT_REDIRECT_URL

💖 DESCRIPTION 💖

challenger-admin is a command-line tool that adds or deletes clients from the Challenger database. no cap, that's the whole vibe — you're curating the guest list 👑

its options are as follows:

• -a CLIENT_SECRET, --add=CLIENT_SECRET — adds the client using the given CLIENT_REDIRECT_URL, setting the client secret to *CLIENT_SECRET. it prints the CLIENT_ID of the client it just added. important: the CLIENT_SECRET must begin with "secret-token:" as per RFC 8959 — non-negotiable, bestie 🫶
• -c FILENAME, --config=FILENAME — use the configuration and other resources for the Challenger commands to operate from FILENAME.
• -d, --delete — deletes the client with the given CLIENT_REDIRECT_URL. heads up: deletion by CLIENT_ID is not possible ⚠️ so don't come for me when that doesn't work.
• -h, --help — prints short help on options. the classic save-me move 🙈
• -L LOGLEVEL, --log=LOGLEVEL — configure logging to use LOGLEVEL.
• -l FILENAME, --logfile=FILENAME — configure logging to write logs to FILENAME.
• -m CLIENT_ID, --modify-client=CLIENT_ID — modifies the client with the given ID. it always updates the CLIENT_REDIRECT_URL, and optionally modifies the client secret if the -a option is also given. the client must already exist. oh and this option cannot be used together with -d — pick a lane, queen 💅
• -q, --quiet — be less verbose in the output. useful in shell scripts. lowkey essential 🐚
• -v, --version — prints version information ⭐
