Token Storage

Authentication tokens are stored securely using the OS keychain:

• Windows: Credential Manager
• Linux: Secret Service

If keychain is unavailable, tokens are stored in an encrypted file at ~/.getjobber/credentials.enc with restricted permissions (0600).

"Not authenticated" error

Run getjobber-cli login to authenticate.

"OAuth credentials not configured" error

Configure your OAuth credentials:

getjobber-cli config set client_id YOUR_CLIENT_ID
getjobber-cli config set client_secret YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET

Browser doesn't open during login

If the browser doesn't open automatically, copy the URL from the terminal and paste it into your browser.

Token expired

Tokens are automatically refreshed when they expire. If you encounter issues, run:

getjobber-cli auth refresh

Or login again:

getjobber-cli login
