.Sh Configuration
Configuration for
.Xr dnsmanagerctl
is split into two files: the one related to the authentication dans the one related to dnsmanagerd.
Some parameters will reasonably come from a configuration file instead of the command-line interface, at least for
.Dq login
and
.Dq password .

By default, authentication configuration is read from
.Pa $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/baguette/auth.yml
or
.Pa /etc/baguette/auth.yml ,
exactly as the
.Xr authd 1
daemon and its
.Xr authctl 1
client.

Configuration file is in YAML, see the following example:

.in +4
Authentication configuration, by default in
.Pa $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/baguette/auth.yml :
.nf
login: john42
password: banana
.fi
.in

In this example, the login and password of the user are set.
The
.Xr authctl
application won't require them as command-line parameters for performing authenticated actions.

.Sh Configuration file variables
The following presents the complete list of configuration file variables.

Configuration for authentication, by default in
.Pa $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/baguette/auth.yml :
.Bl -tag -width "Li password" -compact
.It Li verbosity
Int32, 4 ([0-4],
.Dq 0
being quiet and
.Dq 4
meaning printing debug values)
.
.It Li login
String, empty by default.
.
.It Li password
