# Remove SAFEKEEPER_AUTH_TOKEN env var parsing from safekeeper This PR is a follow-up to #11443 that removes the parsing of the `SAFEKEEPER_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable from the safekeeper codebase while keeping the `auth_token_path` CLI flag functionality. ## Changes: - Removed code that checks for the `SAFEKEEPER_AUTH_TOKEN` environment variable - Updated comments to reflect that only the `auth_token_path` CLI flag is now used As mentioned in PR #11443, the environment variable approach was planned to be deprecated and removed in favor of the file-based approach, which is more secure since environment variables can be quite public in both procfs and unit files.

Local Development Control Plane (neon_local)
This crate contains tools to start a Neon development environment locally. This utility can be used with the cargo neon command. This is a convenience to invoke
the neon_local binary.
Note: this is a dev/test tool -- a minimal control plane suitable for testing code changes locally, but not suitable for running production systems.
Example: Start with Postgres 16
To create and start a local development environment with Postgres 16, you will need to provide --pg-version flag to 3 of the start-up commands.
cargo neon init --pg-version 16
cargo neon start
cargo neon tenant create --set-default --pg-version 16
cargo neon endpoint create main --pg-version 16
cargo neon endpoint start main
Example: Create Test User and Database
By default, cargo neon starts an endpoint with cloud_admin and postgres database. If you want to have a role and a database similar to what we have on the cloud service, you can do it with the following commands when starting an endpoint.
cargo neon endpoint create main --pg-version 16 --update-catalog true
cargo neon endpoint start main --create-test-user true
The first command creates neon_superuser and necessary roles. The second command creates test user and neondb database. You will see a connection string that connects you to the test user after running the second command.
