+
+Work is ongoing to include support for more of the juju CLIs capabilities within this provider.
 
 ## Prerequisites
 
 * [Juju][0] `2.9.33+`
 
-### Juju CLI configuration store
+## Authentication
 
-The provider has a dependency on Juju CLI configuration store.
+There are 3 ways to define credentials for authentication with the Juju controller you wish to target.
+They are displayed in the order in which the provider looks for credentials.
 
-In order to operate, the provider expects configuration to be found in one of the following locations:
+### Static credentials
 
-* `$XDG_DATA_HOME/juju`
-* `~/.local/share/juju`
+Define the Juju controller credentials in the provider definition in your terraform plan.
 
-The intention is to remove this dependency in future.
+``` terraform
+provider "juju" {
+  controller_addresses = "10.225.205.241:17070,10.225.205.242:17070"
+  username = "jujuuser"
+  password = "password1"
+  ca_certificate = file("~/ca-cert.pem")
+}
+```
+
+### Environment variables
+
+Define the Juju controller credentials in the provider definition via environment variables. These can be set up as follows:
+
+```shell
+export CONTROLLER=$(juju whoami | yq .Controller)
+export JUJU_CONTROLLER_ADDRESSES="$(juju show-controller | yq '.[$CONTROLLER]'.details.\"api-endpoints\" | tr -d "[]' "|tr -d '"'|tr -d '\n')"
+export JUJU_USERNAME="$(cat ~/.local/share/juju/accounts.yaml | yq .controllers.$CONTROLLER.user|tr -d '"')"
+export JUJU_PASSWORD="$(cat ~/.local/share/juju/accounts.yaml | yq .controllers.$CONTROLLER.password|tr -d '"')"
+export JUJU_CA_CERT="$(juju show-controller $(echo $CONTROLLER|tr -d '"') | yq '.[$CONTROLLER]'.details.\"ca-cert\"|tr -d '"'|sed 's/\\n/\n/g')"
+```
+
+### Populated by the provider via the juju CLI client.
+
+This is the most straightforward solution. Remember that it will use the configuration used by the Juju CLI client at that moment. The fields are populated using the
+ output from running the command `juju show-controller` with the `--show-password` flag.
