Configuration

Interactive Configuration

ck-prism configure

You'll be prompted for:

• Prism Domain: This can be found in your Prism instance - "https://prism.cloudkeeper.com" , "https://myprism.xyz.in"
• Prism Tenant: This can be found in your Prism SSO Url - "https://sso.prism.cloudkeeper.com' here, 'sso' is your Prism tenant
• AWS Region: Default is us-east-1

Manual Configuration

Edit ~/.ck-prism/config.json:

{
  "default": {
    "realm": "cloudkeeper",
    "client_id": "ckauth-cli",
    "region": "us-east-1",
    "output": "json",
    "role_arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/CKAuth-Admin,arn:aws:iam::123456789012:saml-provider/CKAuthProvider",
    "account_id": "123456789012",
    "role_name": "CKAuth-Admin"
  }
}

Named Profiles

ck-prism configure --profile production

Usage

Default Profile

ck-prism login

Named Profile

ck-prism login --profile production

The tool will:

1. Check for cached tokens
2. Refresh expired tokens automatically
3. Open browser for initial authentication (if needed)
4. Exchange token for AWS credentials
5. Write credentials to ~/.aws/credentials

Using AWS Credentials

After login, use AWS CLI normally:

aws s3 ls
aws ec2 describe-instances

Or with named profile:

aws s3 ls --profile production

Token Caching

Tokens are cached in ~/.ck-prism/tokens/ and automatically refreshed when needed.

Troubleshooting

• Command not found: Ensure Python packages directory is in PATH
• Authentication failed: Re-run ck-prism login
• Expired credentials: Run ck-prism login again to refresh
