logout

Remove credentials from your YAML config (and purge old JSON)

Usage

ionosctl config logout [flags]

Aliases

For config command:

[cfg]

Description

This 'Quality of Life' command will:

1. Clear out any sensitive fields in your YAML config.

2. Afterwards, detect and optionally delete any legacy config.json alongside it.

You can skip the YAML logout and only purge the old JSON with:

ionosctl logout --only-purge-old

AUTHENTICATION ORDER ionosctl uses a layered approach for authentication, prioritizing sources in this order:

1. Flags

2. Environment variables

3. Config file entries Within each layer, a token takes precedence over a username and password combination. For instance, if a token and a username/password pair are both defined in environment variables, ionosctl will prioritize the token. However, higher layers can override the use of a token from a lower layer. For example, username and password environment variables will supersede a token found in the config file.

Options

  -u, --api-url string   Override default host url (default "https://api.ionos.com")
  -c, --config string    Configuration file used for authentication (default "$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/ionosctl/config.yaml")
  -f, --force            Force command to execute without user input
  -h, --help             Print usage
      --no-headers       Don't print table headers when table output is used
      --only-purge-old   Skip YAML logout and only purge legacy config.json
  -o, --output string    Desired output format [text|json|api-json] (default "text")
  -q, --quiet            Quiet output
  -v, --verbose          Print step-by-step process when running command

Examples

ionosctl logout
ionosctl logout --only-purge-old
