Topic: secure store authentication

I have implement an auth mechanism for dvcli in Rust which makes use of the OS secure store. It safely stores base URL and token pairs under an alias. With this users can invoke dvcli functions and pass an optional profile flag with the alias to re-use the token and url. Here is an example:

dvcli auth set -n <NAME> -t <TOKEN> -u <URL>
dvcli -p <NAME> dataset upload -i <PID> <PATHS>

I was wondering if this would also be worth looking into for pyDataverse and easyDataverse? Something along these lines:

api = NativeApi(profile="darus")

This way one can use the profile system-wide without the need of copy-pasting the token and URL all the time. Its not as nice as having SSO, but it adds some convenience.

Sure, sounds nice.
