Passwords

Accessors will occasionally want to access a password or key that should not be committed to version control repository as part of the model.

Currently, one way to do this is to place the key in a file in $HOME/.ptKeystore/ and then get the resource with the getResource() function.

For example, the Heartbeat demo reads $HOME/.ptKeystore/heartbeatKey

To start the demo:

 $PTII/bin/vergil -capecode $PTII/org/terraswarm/accessor/demo/Heartbeat/Heartbeat.xml 

The Heartbeat accessor contains the following code:

...
 * This accessor looks for key in $KEYSTORE/heartbeatKey, which
 * resolves to $HOME/.ptKeystore/heartbeatKey.
 *
 * The key is found in the swarmbox git repo, which not public.
 * Look for swarmbox/heartbeat/key
 * See https://www.terraswarm.org/testbeds/wiki/Main/SwarmboxGitRepo
 *
 * To download the repo using a repo.eecs.berkeley.edu username and
 * password (possibly different than your terraswarm website username
 * and password):
 *
 *   git clone https://repo.eecs.berkeley.edu/git/projects/terraswarm/swarmbox.git
 *
 * If you uploaded your SSH key to repo.eecs, then use:
 *
 *   git clone repoman@repo.eecs.berkeley.edu:projects/terraswarm/swarmbox.git
