I’m trying to store SAML metadata (an XML doc) as a secret, but when I paste in the value at the prompt, it just hangs. Is there a limit in the CLI for how large of a string it can take? It’s 2KB but I see the limit for a secret is 128KB. Or is it an escape issue with XML? This is the command I’m using:

pulumi config --config-file path/to/config.yaml set --secret okta_metadata

Have you tried piping the value to pulumi config? eg for OSX it would be

pbpaste | pulumi config --config-file path/to/config.yaml set --secret okta_metadata

I did not, but hey that worked!
