Infinity Next Terraform CLI

The project provides a command line interface for using the API of Infinity Next

Generating an API Key (Required)

If already have an API key from setting up terraform-provider-infinity-next then you can skip this section.

1. Go to https://portal.checkpoint.com, navigate to Global Settings -> API Keys

2. Create a new API key and select Infinity Policy as the service, with Admin role, we recommend that you specify a meaningful comment for the key so you could identify them later and avoid mistakes.

3. Store the Client ID and Secret Key in a secure location, and note there's no way to view the secret key afterward.

Usage

Download and install the CLI found in the latest release

You could run inext help and get all available options and commands.

The CLI requires the same credentials used to configure the provider, there are 3 options to pass these credentials to the CLI:

1. Set the environment variables: INEXT_REGION, INEXT_CLIENT_ID and INEXT_ACCESS_KEY and run inext <command>, this is more comfortable for usage right after terraform apply since it uses the same environment variables.

2. Set credentials using flags --client-id (shorthand -c) and --access-key (shorthand -k)

   inext publish -c $INEXT_CLIENT_ID -k $INEXT_ACCESS_KEY -r us
   

3. Create a yaml file at ~/.inext.yaml with the following content:

   client-id: <INEXT_CLIENT_ID>
   access-key: <INEXT_ACCESS_KEY>
   region: eu
   

   Run inext <command> and the CLI would be configured using ~/.inext.yaml by default, can be set using inext --config <config-path> <command>

Example

inext publish && inext enforce
