For certain functionality such as connectors to third party APIs, you'll need to define credentials with your local build. Credentials are defined with a JSON file, specified in an IDE-specific way.

Format

{
  "🔑":{
    "CREDENTIAL_NAME":{
      "KEY_NAME":"KEY_VALUE"
    }
  }
}

Example

{
  "🔑":{
    "api:site24x7.com":{
      "token":"[your-api-token]"
    }
  }
}

Dev Tokens

A more robust technique is to use a "Development Token" generated from the Stacklane Console. A development token is an identifier that may be used for local development and IDEs only. This allows all keys, including development/testing keys, to be managed and securely stored entirely within Stacklane's platform and never distributed.

{
  "🔑":"[dev-token]"
}

Development tokens are especially necessary if nesting private SSH repositories, since those repositories will be secured by SSH keys stored within Stacklane.
