Configuration

The endpoint is not included with the script. It needs authentication via a username and token. These can be put in a config-file or directly as arguments to the script.

Example config file:

endpoint = https://WHATEVER_URL
username = USERNAME
token = TOKEN

The config is searched for in the following files, in prioritized order:

$PWD/.mas2rocrate.toml
$HOME/.mas2rocrate.toml
$XDG_CONFIG_HOME/mas2rocrate.toml
/usr/local/etc/mas2rocrate.toml
/etc/mas2rocrate.toml

Trivia

Names of persons are encoded in base 32 to serve as an identifier, since the Sigma2 Metacenter do not use ORCID or similar identification standards.
