As of Release 6.4, the Alteryx command line interface tools have been deprecated. You must migrate your usage of the CLI to use the REST APIs. This content is valid as of Release 6.0.2. It is intended to assist in the migration. For more information, see CLI Migration to APIs.

As an alternative to including admin passwords in each command that is executed, you can insert a set of admin credentials into a configuration file. The file location is the following:

~/.trifacta/config.json

One or more sets of credentials can be specified in the following format:

{
"credentials": {
  "usernameX":"passwordX",
  "usernameY":"passwordY"
  }
}

In your scripts, you can specify just the value for admin_username, and the config file is checked for the appropriate password, which is applied to the command.

NOTE: The permissions on this config file should be set such that only the user executing the command can read the file.
