Razor2::Client::Config3pm

Usage

    # Typically used via Razor2::Client::Agent, not directly
    use Razor2::Client::Agent;
    my $agent = Razor2::Client::Agent->new('razor-check');
    $agent->read_options() or die $agent->errstr;
    $agent->do_conf()      or die $agent->errstr;
    # Access configuration values
    my $debuglevel = $agent->{conf}{debuglevel};

Overview

Razor2::Client::Config handles all configuration file and identity management for the Razor2 client. It reads and writes the razor-agent.conf configuration file, resolves the razorhome directory, and manages user identity files used for authentication with Razor servers.

This module is a parent class of Razor2::Client::Agent and is not typically instantiated directly.

Methods

read_conf($params)

Reads the Razor configuration. Resolves which config file to use (command-line override, user home, or system default), merges defaults with file values and command-line options, and stores the result in "$self->{conf}".

$params is an optional hash reference of additional overrides.

Returns the configuration hash reference on success.

compute_razorconf()

Determines the path to the razor-agent.conf file. Checks the user's razorhome first (~/.razor/razor-agent.conf), then the system default (/etc/razor/razor-agent.conf). Sets "$self->{razorconf}" and "$self->{computed_razorconf}".

write_conf($hash)

Writes configuration to the razor-agent.conf file. If $hash is not provided, reads the current file and merges with defaults.

find_home($rhome)

Resolves the razorhome directory. Search order: command-line "-home" option, "razorhome" from config file, "$HOME/.razor/", config file directory. Sets "$self->{razorhome}".

On VMS, uses "_razor" instead of ".razor".

create_home($rhome)

Creates the razorhome directory at $rhome with mode 0755.

compute_identity()

Resolves the identity file path from command-line options, configuration, or the default (<razorhome>/identity). Follows symlinks.

get_ident()

Reads and returns the identity file as a hash reference with "user" and "pass" keys. Warns if the file is world-readable.

save_ident($ident)

Writes an identity hash ("user", "pass") to disk with mode 0600. Creates a symlink from identity to the user-specific file unless "-i" was specified. Falls back to file copy on systems without symlink support.

Returns the identity file path on success.

read_file($filename, $defaults, $nothash)

General-purpose config file reader. In hash mode (default), parses "key = value" lines into a hash reference, skipping comments. In array mode ($nothash true), returns an array reference of lines.

$defaults provides initial values that file contents override.

write_file($filename, $data, $append, $header, $lock)

Writes data to a file. Accepts a hash reference (written as "key = value"), array reference (one item per line), or scalar reference (raw content). Supports append mode, a header string, and advisory file locking via flock(2).

default_agent_conf()

Returns a hash reference of default agent configuration values.

default_server_conf()

Returns a hash reference of default per-server configuration values.

Files

/etc/razor/razor-agent.conf

System-wide configuration file.

~/.razor/razor-agent.conf

Per-user configuration file (takes precedence over system config).

~/.razor/identity

Symlink to the active identity file.

~/.razor/identity-<user>

Identity file containing credentials for a registered user.
