🏗️ Global Configuration System

KeyVault CLI uses a global configuration approach for storing authentication tokens and encryption keys in ~/.keyvault/config.json:

{
  "apiUrl": "https://1pass.vercel.app",
  "token": "jwt-auth-token",
  "email": "[email protected]",
  "activeTeamId": "team-uuid",
  "personalKeys": {
    "address": "0x...",
    "publicKey": "encryption-public-key",
    "privateKey": "encryption-private-key",
    "createdAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z"
  },
  "teamKeys": {
    "team-name": {
      "address": "0x...",
      "publicKey": "team-encryption-public-key", 
      "privateKey": "team-encryption-private-key",
      "createdAt": "2025-01-15T10:30:00Z"
    }
  }
}

Note: This config file stores encryption keys and authentication tokens, not your actual API keys. Your API keys are stored encrypted on the KeyVault servers and decrypted locally using these encryption keys.

🔄 Migration from v1.0.x

If you're upgrading from CLI v1.0.x, your existing .keyvault-keys.json files will be automatically migrated to the global configuration on first run.

💼 Advanced Usage Examples

🔍 Comprehensive Security Scanning

# Scan entire project with detailed output
keyvault scan -d ./my-project -f json -o security-audit.json

# Quick check current directory
keyvault check

# Scan multiple formats
keyvault scan -f csv -o secrets-report.csv
keyvault scan -f text -o human-readable.txt

👥 Team Collaboration Workflow

# Set up team environment
keyvault team create "Production Environment"
keyvault team switch "Production Environment"

# All subsequent operations use team context
keyvault scan -d ./production-app

# Switch back to personal context
keyvault team switch personal

🔐 Security Best Practices

# Regular security audits
keyvault scan -d . -f json -o "audit-$(date +%Y%m%d).json"

# Check before commits
git add . && keyvault check && git commit -m "feature: add new endpoint"

# Team-specific scans
keyvault team switch "Security Team"
keyvault scan -d ./critical-services -o security-report.txt

🔧 Integration Examples

🔄 CI/CD Pipeline Integration

# GitHub Actions example
- name: Security Scan
  run: |
    npm install -g keyvault-cli
    echo "$KEYVAULT_TOKEN" | keyvault login --token
    keyvault scan -f json -o security-scan.json
    # Fail build if secrets found
    if [ -s security-scan.json ]; then exit 1; fi

🐳 Docker Integration

# Multi-stage build with security scanning
FROM node:18-alpine AS security-scan
RUN npm install -g keyvault-cli
COPY . .
RUN keyvault check || exit 1

FROM node:18-alpine AS production
COPY --from=security-scan /app .
# ... rest of your build

🔗 Shell Integration

# Add to your .bashrc/.zshrc
alias kscan='keyvault scan'
alias kcheck='keyvault check'
alias kteam='keyvault team'

# Pre-commit hook
echo "keyvault check" > .git/hooks/pre-commit
chmod +x .git/hooks/pre-commit

🛡️ Security Architecture

🔐 Encryption Details

Algorithm: AES-256-GCM with client-side encryption
Key Derivation: Deterministic key generation from user credentials
Encryption Keys: User-specific and team-specific encryption keys
Zero Trust: API keys are encrypted before being sent to server

🔒 Data Protection

All API keys encrypted client-side before transmission to server
Encryption keys stored locally in ~/.keyvault/config.json
Team encryption keys provide additional isolation
Server stores only encrypted API keys, never plaintext

🎯 Threat Model Protection

Credential Leakage: Detects exposed API keys, tokens, passwords
Team Isolation: Team data encrypted separately
Local Security: Config files have restricted permissions
Network Security: TLS 1.3 for all communications

🎛️ Configuration Options

Environment Variables

# Override default API endpoint
export KEYVAULT_API_URL="https://your-instance.com/api"

# Enable debug logging
export KEYVAULT_DEBUG=true

# Custom config directory
export KEYVAULT_CONFIG_DIR="/custom/path"

Project-Specific Settings

Create .keyvault.json in your project root:

{
  "scanExcludes": [
    "node_modules/**",
    "dist/**",
    "*.log"
  ],
  "teamContext": "Production Team",
  "autoScan": true
}

🚨 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

🔑 Authentication Problems

# Clear corrupted auth data
keyvault logout
rm -rf ~/.keyvault
keyvault login

📁 Config File Issues

# Reset configuration
rm ~/.keyvault/config.json
keyvault login

🔍 Scan Performance Issues

# Exclude large directories
keyvault scan -d . --exclude "node_modules,dist,logs"

👥 Team Access Problems

# Verify team membership
keyvault team list
keyvault whoami

# Re-sync team data
keyvault team switch "Team Name"

Debug Mode

# Enable verbose logging
KEYVAULT_DEBUG=true keyvault scan

# Check configuration
keyvault whoami --verbose
