enable-developer-preview
Enable developer preview mode in target cluster
SYNOPSIS
couchbase-cli enable-developer-preview [--cluster <url>] [--username <user>] [--password <password>] [--client-cert <path>] [--client-cert-password <password>] [--client-key <path>] [--client-key-password <password>] [--enable] [--list]
DESCRIPTION
This command enables developer preview in the target cluster. Once enabled it can not be disabled and the cluster will not be able to upgrade. Do not use developer preview mode in production clusters. This command will prompt for user confirmation.
OPTIONS
- -c
- --cluster
-
Specifies the hostname of a node in the cluster. See the HOST FORMATS section for more information on specifying a hostname.
- -u
- --username <username>
-
Specifies the username of the user executing the command. If you do not have a user account with permission to execute the command then it will fail with an unauthorized error.
- -p
- --password <password>
-
Specifies the password of the user executing the command. If you do not have a user account with permission to execute the command then it will fail with an unauthorized error. If this argument is specified, but no password is given then the command will prompt the user for a password through non-echoed stdin. You may also specify your password by using the environment variable CB_REST_PASSWORD.
- --client-cert <path>
-
The path to a client certificate used to authenticate when connecting to a cluster. May be supplied with
--client-key
as an alternative to the--username
and--password
flags. See the CERTIFICATE AUTHENTICATION section for more information. - --client-cert-password <password>
-
The password for the certificate provided to the
--client-cert
flag, when using this flag, the certificate/key pair is expected to be in the PKCS#12 format. See the CERTIFICATE AUTHENTICATION section for more information. - --client-key <path>
-
The path to the client private key whose public key is contained in the certificate provided to the
--client-cert
flag. May be supplied with--client-cert
as an alternative to the--username
and--password
flags. See the CERTIFICATE AUTHENTICATION section for more information. - --client-key-password <password>
-
The password for the key provided to the
--client-key
flag, when using this flag, the key is expected to be in the PKCS#8 format. See the CERTIFICATE AUTHENTICATION section for more information. - --enable
-
Will set the cluster into developer preview mode after user confirmation that they want to set the cluster in developer preview mode.
- --list
-
Specifies if the cluster is in developer preview mode.
HOST FORMATS
When specifying a host for the couchbase-cli command the following formats are expected:
-
couchbase://<addr>
orcouchbases://<addr>
-
http://<addr>:<port>
orhttps://<addr>:<port>
-
<addr>:<port>
It is recommended to use the couchbase://<addr> or couchbases://<addr> format for standard installations. The other formats allow an option to take a port number which is needed for non-default installations where the admin port has been set up on a port other that 8091 (or 18091 for https).
CERTIFICATE AUTHENTICATION (MTLS AUTHENTICATION)
This tool supports authenticating against a Couchbase Cluster by using certificate based authentication (mTLS authentication). To use certificate based authentication a certificate/key must be supplied, there a currently multiple ways this may be done.
PEM ENCODED CERTIFICATE/KEY
An unencrypted PEM encoded certificate/key may be supplied by using:
- --client-cert <path>
- --client-key <path>
The file passed to --client-cert
must contain the client certificate, and an optional chain required to authenticate
the client certificate.
The file passed to --client-key
must contain at most one private key, the key can be in one of the following formats:
- PKCS#1
- PKCS#8
Currently, only the following key types are supported: - RSA - DSA
PEM ENCODED CERTIFICATE/PEM OR DER ENCRYPTED PKCS#8 KEY
An encrypted PKCS#8 formatted key may be provided using:
- --client-cert <path>
- --client-key <path>
- --client-key-password <password>
The file passed to --client-cert
must contain the client certificate, and an optional chain required to authenticate
the client certificate.
Currently, only the following key types are supported: - RSA - DSA
ENCRYPTED PKCS#12 CERTIFICATE/KEY
An encrypted PKCS#12 certificate/key may be provided using:
- --client-cert <path>
- --client-cert-password <password>
The file passed to --client-cert
must contain the client certificate and exactly one private key. It may also contain
the chain required to authenticate the client certificate.
Currently, only the following key types are supported: - RSA - DSA
EXAMPLES
To enable developer preview mode on:
$ couchbase-cli enable-developer-preview -c 192.168.1.5:8091 -u Administrator \ -p password --enable $ Developer preview cannot be disabled once it is enabled. If you enter developer preview mode you will not be able to upgrade. DO NOT USE IN PRODUCTION. Are you sure [y/n]: y SUCCESS: Cluster is in developer preview mode
To check cluster mode:
$ couchbase-cli enable-developer-preview -c localhost:9000 -u Administrator \ -p password --list $ Cluster is in developer preview mode
ENVIRONMENT AND CONFIGURATION VARIABLES
- CB_REST_USERNAME
-
Specifies the username to use when executing the command. This environment variable allows you to specify a default argument for the -u/--username argument on the command line.
- CB_REST_PASSWORD
-
Specifies the password of the user executing the command. This environment variable allows you to specify a default argument for the -p/--password argument on the command line. It also allows the user to ensure that their password are not cached in their command line history.
- CB_CLIENT_CERT
-
The path to a client certificate used to authenticate when connecting to a cluster. May be supplied with
CB_CLIENT_KEY
as an alternative to theCB_USERNAME
andCB_PASSWORD
variables. See the CERTIFICATE AUTHENTICATION section for more information. - CB_CLIENT_CERT_PASSWORD
-
The password for the certificate provided to the
CB_CLIENT_CERT
variable, when using this variable, the certificate/key pair is expected to be in the PKCS#12 format. See the CERTIFICATE AUTHENTICATION section for more information. - CB_CLIENT_KEY
-
The path to the client private key whose public key is contained in the certificate provided to the
