Overview

--------

The **easy-server** package is a Python library for securely defining

sensitive information for accessing servers (or services), such as logon

credentials or API keys.

The information for accessing the servers is divided into a general portion

that is defined in an openly accessible *server file*, and

a sensitive portion that is defined in an encrypted *vault file*.

The vault file defines the secrets needed to access the servers, such as

logon credentials or API keys. The vault file must be an "easy-vault" file and

thus can be encrypted and decrypted using the ``easy-vault`` command provided

by the `easy-vault `_ package.

The "easy-vault" files remain encrypted in the file system while their content

is used to access the servers.

The server file defines general information about the servers, such

as a short description, contact name, or a reminder which network to use for

accessing them.

The link between the server file and the vault file are user-defined

nicknames for the servers. These nicknames can also used by users as a

convenient way to identify servers in commands.

The server files support the definition of server groups that

also have a nickname.

Typical use cases for the **easy-server** package are test programs

running end-to-end tests against real servers, or command line clients that

access servers or services.

This provides a convenient, flexible and secure way how Python programs can

retrieve the secrets needed for accessing servers or services, while protecting

these secrets in a secure way.
