Issues with providing credentials to DSEFS through environment variables

Hello,

I am having trouble creating/mod the .profile file inside of my linux machine to add the Variables needed in order to run dse fs without having to specify the user and password. It does not seem like by adding the variables, saving, then running the command works. I have also tried doing export DSE_USERNAME="", which works, however, it only works throughout the session. After i exit and log back in the export command does not save.

I want to be able to do dse fs without specifying the user and password and whether i am logged as the super user or a different user.

Thank you,

Simon

Hi, could you add the `export x=y` statements to ~/.bashrc file?

@jaroslaw.grabowski_50515 I tried adding the export statement to the /.bashrc file but it did not work. I ended up adding it to the /etc/bash.bashrc file instead and it seemed to work. Not sure if this is the right approach tho.

You can provide credentials using environment variables by defining the following variables:

export DSE_USERNAME=username
export DSE_PASSWORD=password

It can be set in the .profile or .bash_profile files in the OS user's home directory. This ultimately depends on your operating system and shell environment as it differs from one Linux distribution to the next.

Consult your operating system manual for details. Cheers!
