The Akamai CLI shell plugin allows you to use 1Password to securely authenticate the Akamai CLI with your fingerprint, Apple Watch, or system authentication, rather than storing your credentials in plaintext. Follow the instructions to configure your default credentials and source the plugins.sh file, then you’ll be prompted to authenticate the Akamai CLI with biometrics.

Requirements

  1. Sign up for 1Password.
  2. Install and sign in to 1Password for Mac or Linux.
  3. Install 1Password CLI 2.13.0 or later.
  4. Integrate 1Password CLI with the 1Password app.
  5. Install the Akamai CLI.
The following shells are supported:
  • Bash
  • Zsh
  • fish

Step 1: Configure your default credentials

Step 2: Source the plugins.sh file

To make the plugin available, source your plugins.sh file. For example:

source ~/.config/op/plugins.sh

The file path for your op folder may vary depending on your configuration directory. op plugin init will output a source command with the correct file path.

If this is your first time installing a shell plugin, you’ll also need to add the source command to your RC file or shell profile to persist the plugin beyond the current terminal session. For example:

Step 3: Use the CLI

Step 4: Remove imported credentials from disk

After saving your credentials in 1Password, you can remove all local copies you previously had stored on disk.

Reference

1Password authenticates with Akamai by injecting a temporary config file with the credentials required by the plugin commands directly from your 1Password account. If you saved your Akamai CLI credentials in 1Password manually rather than using op plugin to import a new item, make sure that your field names match the table below. If the item doesn’t contain a field with the required name, you’ll be prompted to rename one of the existing fields.
