Edgerc option not working for cloudlets

[vijayendran18]

I'am facing issue when I run the cloudlets commends with edgec option (To locate the config file).

But --edgerc working fine for property manager cli commends.

Hi @vijayendran18, thank you for opening the issue.

It seems like you are using incorrect order of global flags. The command you're trying to execute should be:
.\akamai-v1.5.5-windowsamd64.exe cloudlets --edgerc <your edgerc path> retrieve --policy <your policy name>.
Let me know if the error you're seeing is solved with this command.

You can also use help command to find out more, i.e, .\akamai-v1.5.5-windowsamd64.exe help.

With regards,
Dawid

Hi @dawiddzhafarov ,
Yeh now its working fine. Thank for you valuable help.

I need one more help, without passing the --edgerc option, Can I pass the secrets like the below option.
--host , --access_token, --client_token , --client_secret

It is not available to pass the credentials like this as they are clearly visible while using such command. You can store them in a file (edgerc) and if you want to use different ones, you can create a different section in the same edgerc file. Such file could look like this:

[section1]
host = <host1>
access_token = <access_token1>
client_token = <client_token1>
client_secret = <client_secret1>

[section2]
host = <host2>
access_token = <access_token2>
client_token = <client_token2>
client_secret = <client_secret2>

With such configuration, while executing command you can use: akamai cloudlets --edgerc <your edgerc path> --section <your section name> ...<rest of command>, where <your section name> would be section1 or section2.

You can always refer to README or use akamai.exe help command to find out more.
