@tsmx/secure-config-tool

@tsmx/secure-config-tool

Supporting command-line tool for @tsmx/secure-config.

Features:

• generating keys
• encrypting values in existing configuration files
• encrypting single secrets
• decrypting single secrets (for validation/testing purposes)

Installation

[tsmx@localhost ]$ npm i -g @tsmx/secure-config-tool

For better convenience I recommend the installation as a global package. Though local installation and use is also possible.

Key generation

[tsmx@localhost ]$ secure-config-tool genkey
9af7d400be4705147dc724db25bfd2513aa11d6013d7bf7bdb2bfe050593bd0f
[tsmx@localhost ]$ export CONFIG_ENCRYPTION_KEY=9af7d400be4705147dc724db25bfd2513aa11d6013d7bf7bdb2bfe050593bd0f

Encrypt files

Reads an existing JSON configuration file and encrypts the values according to specified key-patterns. The result is printed to stdout, so use > to save it in a new file.

Using standard encryption patterns

[tsmx@localhost ]$ secure-config-tool create-file ./config.json > config-production.json

If no patterns are specified using the -p / --patterns option, the standard patterns are used: 'user', 'pass', 'token'. For each pattern a case-insensitive match is tested for each key of the JSON file to be encrypted. If the match succeeds, the value of the key is encrypted.

Using custom encryption patterns

[tsmx@localhost ]$ secure-config-tool create-file -p "Username,Password" ./config.json > config-production.json

Same as above, but your custom patterns are used. In the example every key is tested case-insensitive against the two regex expressions /Username/ and /Password/.

Encrypt values

[tsmx@localhost ]$ secure-config-tool create --secret MySecret
ENCRYPTED|82da1c22e867d68007d66a23b7b748b3|452a2ed1105ec5607576b820b90aa49f

Encrypts a single value string for copy & paste to a JSON configuration file.

Decrypt values

[tsmx@localhost ]$ secure-config-tool decrypt "ENCRYPTED|82da1c22e867d68007d66a23b7b748b3|452a2ed1105ec5607576b820b90aa49f"
MySecret

Decrypts a single vaule string for testing purposes.

Test

npm install
npm test
