Pipeline variables are reusable pipeline parameters that make a continuous integration job produce a specific outcome.
When integrating the ftpub
tool into a Continuous Integration (CI) system, it is necessary to define the following information:
- The URL of the targeted Fluid Topics portal. The
FT_PORTAL_URL
variable is available for this purpose. - Authentication credentials, which can be defined using either the
FT_API_KEY
variable to authenticate using an API Key or theFT_PORTAL_USER
andFT_PORTAL_PASSWORD
variables to authenticate using a username and password.
To authenticate successfully, the selected authentication mechanism must have one of the expected user roles.
- See the full list of environment variables for the
ftpub
tool. - It is possible to define parameters as masked CI variables to avoid revealing sensitive information in job logs.
