NAME

       cifscreds - manage NTLM credentials in kernel keyring

SYNOPSIS

       cifscreds add|clear|clearall|update [-u username] [-d] host|domain

DESCRIPTION

       The cifscreds program is a tool for managing credentials (username and password) for the purpose of establishing sessions in multiuser
       mounts.

       When a cifs filesystem is mounted with the "multiuser" option, and does not use krb5 authentication, it needs to be able to get the
       credentials for each user from somewhere. The cifscreds program is the tool used to provide these credentials to the kernel.

       The first non-option argument to cifscreds is a command (see the COMMANDS section below). The second non-option argument is a hostname or
       address, or an NT domain name.

COMMANDS

       add Add credentials to the kernel to be used for connecting to the given server, or servers in the given domain.

       clear
	   Clear credentials for a particular host or domain from the kernel.

       clearall
	   Clear all cifs credentials from the kernel.

       update
	   Update stored credentials in the kernel with a new username and password.

OPTIONS

       -d, --domain
	   The provided host/domain argument is a NT domainname.

	   Ordinarily the second argument provided to cifscreds is treated as a hostname or IP address. This option causes the cifscreds program
	   to treat that argument as an NT domainname instead.

	   If there are not host specific credentials for the mounted server, then the kernel will next look for a set of domain credentials
	   equivalent to the domain= option provided at mount time.

       -u, --username
	   Ordinarily, the username is derived from the unix username of the user adding the credentials. This option allows the user to
	   substitute a different username.

NOTES

       The cifscreds utility requires a kernel built with support for the login key type. That key type was added in v3.3 in mainline Linux
       kernels.

       Since cifscreds adds keys to the session keyring, it is highly recommended that one use pam_keyinit to ensure that a session keyring is
       established at login time.

NAME

       git-credential-store - helper to store credentials on disk

SYNOPSIS

       git config credential.helper 'store [options]'

DESCRIPTION

	   Note
	   Using this helper will store your passwords unencrypted on disk, protected only by filesystem permissions. If this is not an acceptable
	   security tradeoff, try git-credential-cache(1), or find a helper that integrates with secure storage provided by your operating system.

       This command stores credentials indefinitely on disk for use by future git programs.

       You probably don't want to invoke this command directly; it is meant to be used as a credential helper by other parts of git. See
       gitcredentials(7) or EXAMPLES below.

OPTIONS

       --store=<path>
	   Use <path> to store credentials. The file will have its filesystem permissions set to prevent other users on the system from reading
	   it, but will not be encrypted or otherwise protected. Defaults to ~/.git-credentials.

EXAMPLES

       The point of this helper is to reduce the number of times you must type your username or password. For example:

	   $ git config credential.helper store
	   $ git push http://example.com/repo.git
	   Username: <type your username>
	   Password: <type your password>

	   [several days later]
	   $ git push http://example.com/repo.git
	   [your credentials are used automatically]

STORAGE FORMAT

       The .git-credentials file is stored in plaintext. Each credential is stored on its own line as a URL like:

	   https://user:pass@example.com

       When git needs authentication for a particular URL context, credential-store will consider that context a pattern to match against each
       entry in the credentials file. If the protocol, hostname, and username (if we already have one) match, then the password is returned to
       git. See the discussion of configuration in gitcredentials(7) for more information.
