Security Best Practices

Protect OAuth2 Credentials
- Never commit detect-cli.properties with real credentials to version control
- Use environment-specific configuration files
- Rotate credentials regularly using clientDetails utility

File Permissions

# Restrict access to configuration files
   chmod 600 $HCL_UNICA_DETECT_HOME/tools/conf/detect-cli.properties
   chown detect:detect $HCL_UNICA_DETECT_HOME/tools/conf/detect-cli.properties

Use Service Accounts
- Create dedicated Platform users for CLI automation
- Grant minimum required permissions (read-only for configuration queries)
- Don't use personal accounts in production scripts

Audit Logging

# Log all CLI executions for compliance
   ./CliTool.sh get-all-datasource-names-for-logged-in-user | \
     tee -a /var/log/detect-cli/audit-$(date +%Y%m%d).log
