<title>Credentials</title>
<para><command>systemd-network-generator</command> supports the service credentials logic as implemented
by
<varname>ImportCredential=</varname>/<varname>LoadCredential=</varname>/<varname>SetCredential=</varname>
(see <citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.exec</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry> for
details). The following credentials are used when passed in:</para>
<variablelist class='system-credentials'>
<varlistentry>
<term><varname>network.conf.*</varname></term>
<term><varname>network.link.*</varname></term>
<term><varname>network.netdev.*</varname></term>
<term><varname>network.network.*</varname></term>
<listitem><para>These credentials should contain valid
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>networkd.conf</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.link</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.netdev</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>,
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd.network</refentrytitle><manvolnum>5</manvolnum></citerefentry>
configuration data. From each matching credential a separate file is created. Example: a passed
credential <filename>network.link.50-foobar</filename> will be copied into a configuration file
<filename>50-foobar.link</filename>.</para>
<para>Note that the resulting files are created world-readable, it is hence recommended to not include
secrets in these credentials, but to supply them via separate credentials directly to
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>.
</para>
<xi:include href="version-info.xml" xpointer="v256"/></listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Note that by default the
<citerefentry><refentrytitle>systemd-networkd.service</refentrytitle><manvolnum>8</manvolnum></citerefentry>
service is set up to inherit the these credentials from the service manager.</para>
