Pipeline variables are reusable pipeline parameters that make a continuous integration job produce a specific outcome.
When integrating ftpub 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_URLvariable is available for this purpose. - Authentication credentials, which can be defined using either the
FT_API_KEYvariable to authenticate using an API Key, or theFT_PORTAL_USERandFT_PORTAL_PASSWORDvariables 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
ftpub. - It is possible to define parameters as masked CI variables to avoid revealing sensitive information in job logs.
