Prerequisites

The following steps are required before running most CLI workflows. Complete these once, then proceed to the specific workflow guide.

1. Install Idsec CLI

For private repositories, configure Git credentials:

# Requires Go 1.24+ and git 2.24+
export GOPRIVATE=github.com
git config --global url."https://<username>:<token>@github.com".insteadOf "https://github.com"
go install github.com/cyberark/idsec-cli-golang/cmd/idsec@latest

Make sure that the PATH environment variable points to the Go binary. For example:

export PATH=$PATH:$(go env GOPATH)/bin

2. Create a profile

  • Interactively: 
    idsec configure
  • Silently: 
    idsec configure --silent --work-with-isp --isp-username myuser

3. Log in to Idsec

idsec login --silent --isp-secret <my-idsec-secret>
