1083372 - Better document managing client credentials

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1225597

(Tree Management :: Treeherder, defect, P4)

Description

[William Lachance (:wlach)]

When getting running with treeherder-perf, I quickly ran into a situation where I wanted to submit stuff to the treeherder server myself, but did not know how to get the oauth keys necessary to do so. All I could find was some notes on running "manage.py export_project_credentials" in http://treeherder-service.readthedocs.org/en/latest/common_tasks.html#add-a-new-repository

Chatting with :jeads and :camd, I found out that export_project_credentials just populates the project database tables with oauth keys, and exports them to a file called 'treeherder/etl/data/credentials.json' (which you can later share with other people).

Let's document this in treeherder-service (and maybe point to it from the treeherder-client README.md?) so that people can self-serve an answer to this question in the future. :)

Changing this to be about registering a new set of (hawk) client credentials.
