B2C Config Skill

Use the

b2c setup config

command to view the resolved configuration and understand where each value comes from. This is essential for debugging configuration issues and verifying that the CLI is using the correct settings.

When to Use

Use

b2c setup config

when you need to:

• Verify which configuration file is being used
• Check if environment variables are being read correctly
• Debug authentication failures by confirming credentials are loaded
• Understand credential source priority (dw.json vs env vars vs plugins)
• Identify hostname mismatch protection issues
• Verify MRT API key is loaded from ~/.mobify

Examples

View Current Configuration

# Display resolved configuration (sensitive values masked by default)
b2c setup config

# View configuration for a specific instance from dw.json
b2c setup config -i staging

# View configuration with a specific config file
b2c setup config --config /path/to/dw.json

Debug Sensitive Values

# Show actual passwords, secrets, and API keys (use with caution)
b2c setup config --unmask

JSON Output for Scripting

# Output as JSON for parsing in scripts
b2c setup config --json

# Pretty-print with jq
b2c setup config --json | jq '.config'

# Check which sources are loaded
b2c setup config --json | jq '.sources'

Understanding the Output

The command displays configuration organized by category:

• Instance: hostname, webdavHostname, codeVersion
• Authentication (Basic): username, password (for WebDAV)
• Authentication (OAuth): clientId, clientSecret, scopes, authMethods
• TLS/mTLS: certificate, certificatePassphrase, selfSigned (for two-factor auth)
• SCAPI: shortCode
• Managed Runtime (MRT): mrtProject, mrtEnvironment, mrtApiKey
• Metadata: instanceName (from multi-instance configs)
• Sources: List of all configuration sources that were loaded

Each value shows its source in brackets:

• [DwJsonSource]

  - Value from dw.json file

• [MobifySource]

  - Value from ~/.mobify file

• [SFCC_*]

  - Value from environment variable

• [password-store]

  - Value from a credential plugin

Configuration Priority

Values are resolved with this priority (highest to lowest):

1. CLI flags and environment variables
2. Plugin sources (high priority)
3. dw.json file
4. ~/.mobify file (MRT API key only)
5. Plugin sources (low priority)
6. package.json b2c key

When troubleshooting, check the source column to understand which configuration is taking precedence.

Common Issues

Missing Values

If a value shows

-

, it means no source provided that configuration. Check:

• Is the field spelled correctly in dw.json?
• Is the environment variable set?
• Does the plugin provide that value?

Wrong Source Taking Precedence

If a value comes from an unexpected source:

• Higher priority sources override lower ones
• Credential groups (username+password, clientId+clientSecret) are atomic
• Hostname mismatch protection may discard values

Sensitive Values Masked

By default, passwords and secrets show partial values like

admi...REDACTED

. Use

--unmask

to see full values when debugging authentication issues.
