# Keeper Commander

> Keeper Commander is Keeper's CLI for enterprise vault and account management.

## Creating a Keeper Commander connection

To create this connection, you need:

* A Config File
* A Password

### Obtaining the credentials

Keeper Commander must be installed on a computer/machine first. Blink uses the JSON configuration generated by that local installation.

1. Install Keeper Commander on a machine you control by following the [Keeper Commander installation guide](https://docs.keeper.io/en/keeperpam/commander-cli/commander-installation-setup).

2. On that same machine, run:

   ```bash theme={"dark"}
   keeper login
   ```

3. Complete the login and device approval in Keeper.

4. After login succeeds, open the generated config file:
   * macOS/Linux: `~/.keeper/config.json`
   * Windows: `%USERPROFILE%\.keeper\config.json`

5. Copy the full JSON content. You will paste it into the Blink connection's **Config File** field.

### Creating your connection

1. In the Blink platform, navigate to the **Connections** page > **Add connection**. A New Connection dialog box opens displaying icons of external service providers available.
2. Select the **Keeper Commander** icon. A dialog box with name of the connection and connection methods appears.
3. (Optional) Edit the name of the connection. At a later stage you cannot edit the name.
4. Select **Config File** as the connection method.
5. Fill in:
   * **Config File**: The content of the Keeper Commander config JSON file.
   * **Password**: Your Keeper Commander password.
6. (Optional) Click **Test Connection** to test it.
7. Click **Create connection**. The new connection appears on the **Connections** page.
