You can access the API with a local user account by using saslpasswd <localuser> then use those credentials for the cron job. You can point to a user account in crontab by putting the username before the script path. I'm just not sure how to have the password automatically called for authentication.

I'm working on a cron job to run on the engine to do some tasks via the API. Is there a way I can get an API OAuth token created without actually storing a password? For example, some script that can be run to directly create a session in the database and return the token. Obviously this _can_ be done, it's a matter of knowing the right bits to do (so basically wondering if that has already been written). I only have internal users, so no external authentication store available. -- Chris Adams <cma(a)cmadams.net&gt; _______________________________________________ Users mailing list -- users(a)ovirt.org To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave(a)ovirt.org Privacy Statement: https://www.ovirt.org/privacy-policy.html oVirt Code of Conduct: https://www.ovirt.org/community/about/community-guidelines/ List Archives: https://lists.ovirt.org/archives/list/users@ovirt.org/message/OWQH2JZ72H4...
