Codex config import missing auth_mode

Quick fix

Upgrade to cc-switch v4.0 or later; when switching to a third-party provider, the Key is written to config.toml, so there is no need to add auth_mode manually.

Symptom

Section titled “Symptom”
Error output
{ "OPENAI_API_KEY": "PROXY_MANAGED" }

Cause

Section titled “Cause”

When switching to a third-party provider, cc-switch writes only OPENAI_API_KEY to ~/.codex/auth.json, without auth_mode. A comment notes that even adding auth_mode to the provider template does not persist after switching. The maintainer explains that, starting with v4.0, switching to a third-party provider writes the Key to the [model_providers.custom] table in config.toml, so auth.json is no longer used and auth_mode does not need to be added manually.

Fix

Section titled “Fix”

  1. Upgrade to cc-switch v4.0 or later. The maintainer recommends getting the update from GitHub Releases.

  2. After switching to a third-party provider, check Codex's config.toml configuration; there is no need to add auth_mode to auth.json manually.
