ARMARA Course 03

Course 03 / Module 04

Test privately, then open the door

Follow the only safe channel order: verify the allow-list, send one private test, enable deliberately, and rehearse containment.

The written lesson is complete now.

Require a credentialed private destination

No channel is configured on the production instance, so no outbound test or enable action was performed for the build. These moments remain capture live with the author's account.

Use PowerShell and a private destination owned by the author.
01

Follow one safe order

setup with allow-list
config show to verify
test privately
enable

A configured credential is not permission to expose a remote path.

02

Send one real private test

Run in your terminal
armaraos channel test <CHANNEL>
Real help contracts for channel test, enable, and disable
Fresh live help / outbound actions not executed in production

Test sends a real outbound message. Never point it at a public room merely for a lesson.

03

Enable only after both proofs

Run in your terminal
armaraos channel enable <CHANNEL>
Run in your terminal
armaraos channel list
04

Practice containment

Run in your terminal
armaraos channel disable <CHANNEL>
Run in your terminal
armaraos channel list

Disable is the first response when anything feels wrong and is documented to keep configuration. Verify the list rather than trusting a banner. Re-enable only if the author intends to leave the path live.

05

Never combine remote input with blanket approval

Do not start with --yolo while a channel is enabled. Remote input and automatic permission remove two separate brakes.

06

Use the fixed debugging order

Run in your terminal
armaraos channel list
armaraos channel test <CHANNEL>
armaraos logs -f
armaraos sessions

The TUI log may stay empty on this build. Preserve the observation and continue to session metadata.

Check it / only with verified setup

Send from an allowed identity.

List the enabled channel, send a phone message from an allowed identity, and receive a reply. Without credentials, keep the channel unconfigured and treat the procedure as ready.

Safety note

A scheduled reply may travel over an enabled channel. Treat every schedule associated with a remote agent as a live outbound action, never as a private local test.
