Factotum extension

This extension is currently being distributed along with Mercurial.

Author: Steven Stallion

Overview

This extension allows the factotum facility on Plan 9 from Bell Labs platforms to provide authentication information for HTTP access. Configuration entries specified in the auth section as well as authentication information provided in the repository URL are fully supported. If no prefix is specified, a value of * will be assumed.

By default, keys are specified as:

  proto=pass service=hg prefix=<prefix> user=<username> !password=<password>

If the factotum extension is unable to read the required key, one will be requested interactively.

Configuration

[extensions]
factotum =

[factotum]
mount = /mnt/factotum
path = /bin/auth/factotum
service = hg
