conf-python-jamf not saving config

[shaquir]

When attempting to setup jctl, running conf-python-jamf results in this error:

$ conf-python-jamf
Hostname (don't forget https:// and :8443): website
username: name

Traceback (most recent call last):

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

    raise PasswordSetError("Can't store password on keychain: " "{}".format(e))

While your document mentions support for python 3.7, after looking at keyring I tried updating to 3.8.10 but I am still getting the same error

jctl Version:

$ jctl --version
jctl 1.1.15
python_jamf 0.7.4 (0.6.9 required)

I also get a similar error with trying to set a plist:

$ conf-python-jamf -C ~/Library/Preferences/edu.utah.mlib.jamfutil.plist

Issue was with method of accessing my machine's terminal and Apple's keychain restrictions.

No issues on new machine. Tested locally on original (issue) machine in terminal and works as expected.

Thanks for the project
