# cloudstic store verify

> Resolve store credentials and verify store access for a named profile store

Validate one configured store from `profiles.yaml`.

`cloudstic store verify` checks:

* Credential resolution from configured secret refs (`env://`, `keychain://`, etc.)
* Backend connectivity and basic access
* For encrypted repositories: whether configured credentials can unlock the repository

## Usage

```bash theme={null}
cloudstic store verify [options] <name>
```

In interactive mode, if `<name>` is omitted, you'll be prompted to select one.

## Options

<ParamField path="-profiles-file" type="string" env="CLOUDSTIC_PROFILES_FILE">
  Path to the profiles YAML file.
</ParamField>

## Examples

```bash theme={null}
# Verify one store by name
cloudstic store verify prod-s3

# Verify using a custom profiles file
cloudstic store verify -profiles-file ~/.config/cloudstic/profiles.yaml prod-s3
```

## What This Command Is (and Is Not)

* Use `store verify` to validate **configuration and access** for a store entry.
* Use [`cloudstic store init`](/commands/store-init) to initialize a configured
  store that is reachable but not yet initialized.
* Use [`cloudstic check`](/commands/check) to validate **repository integrity**
  (reference graph and object/data correctness).

## Common Outcomes

* Missing env var / unavailable secret backend: configuration is valid, but current
  shell/session cannot resolve required credentials.
* Wrong password/key for an initialized encrypted repo: store is reachable, but
  encryption credentials are invalid for unlock.
* Connectivity/auth failures: credentials resolved, but backend access failed.
