# Configuration

Most of the API calls made by the CLI require the request to have been authenticated. Configuring the binary helps avoid re-entering the credentials when making the request. This is optional, and there may be circumstances, such as in a stateless environment, where it may not be appropriate. 

Configuration is a three step process:

* Obtain the credentials from application. The option will be present in the profile popover on the top right of the window.
* Run the `*-configure` command to save the configuration
* Run the `*-cred-check` command to validate the configuration
