Zowe 'config secure' fails to recognize secure properties in a global base profile

[gejohnston]

The 'config secure' command does not recognize secure properties in the base profile from a global team config file, unless you are in the ZOWE_CLI_HOME directory.

Built from code in master as of 5/23/2022. Run on Windows.

Here is the behavior that I see:

C:\ourstuff\runtime\temp
-> ls

C:\ourstuff\runtime\temp
-> zowe config list --locations --root
C:\Users\MyUserId\.zowe\zowe.config.json

C:\ourstuff\runtime\temp
-> zowe config secure
No secure properties found in your config

C:\ourstuff\runtime\temp
-> cd C:\Users\MyUserId\.zowe

C:\Users\MyUserId\.zowe
-> zowe config secure
Enter profiles.base_secure_pass.properties.user - blank to skip:
Enter profiles.base_secure_pass.properties.password - blank to skip:

C:\Users\MyUserId\.zowe
-> zowe zos-files list data-set "SYS1.PARMLIB*"
SYS1.PARMLIB
SYS1.PARMLIB.ARCHIVE
SYS1.PARMLIB.OLD
SYS1.PARMLIBN

C:\Users\MyUserId\.zowe

This is the config file from the ZOWE_CLI_HOME directory (with sensitive names replaced):

{
    "$schema": "/Users/MyUserId/.zowe/zowe.schema.json",
    "profiles": {
        "base_secure_pass": {
            "type": "base",
            "properties": {
                "rejectUnauthorized": false
            },
            "secure": [
                "user",
                "password"
            ]
        },
        "MyHost": {
            "type": "zosmf",
            "properties": {
                "host": "MyHost.corp.site.com",
                "port": 443,
                "responseFormatHeader": true
            }
        }
    },
    "defaults": {
        "base": "base_secure_pass",
        "zosmf": "MyHost"
    },
    "autoStore": true
}

Hi same problem here, and does also not work in the ZOWE_CLI_HOME Folder: file is the imperative.log file in zowe installdir folder imperative\logs\impoerative.log (set user and password):

We can't update the password, which is really annoying, because we can't use zowe anymore (when we need to update the password).

Thanks!

Hey @kraabrsg, As mentioned in slack, I wasn't able to reproduce the same problem on Windows. Did you see any installation errors when updating to @zowe/[email protected] ?

[kraabrsg]

Hey @zFernand0 we updated with our custom installer (this updates npm/nodejs, vscode itself, and our custom vscode extension).

Zowe updates from 7.2.2 to 7.2.4

There is a updater protocol:

**Updating Zowe Config Init (init --global-config --prompt false)**

Saved config template to C:\MYPATH\zowe\zowe.config.json
Finished

**Updating Zowe User (set --global-config --secure profiles.base.properties.user {user} ) **
Command Error:
Unable to securely save credentials.
Error Details:
Possible Solutions:
- Reinstall Zowe CLI. On Linux systems, also make sure to install the prerequisites listed in Zowe CLI documentation.
- Ensure Zowe CLI can access secure credential storage. Zowe CLI needs access to the OS to securely save credentials.
Finished

the npm cache log shows nothing interesting:

Hope this helps. (we don't use the default home folder...)

[zFernand0]

The original error reported seems to be a user error.

You need to use the --global-config to influence the ~/.zowe` config JSON file.
