> gfsh user and password visible in clear text

> Key: GEODE-2119
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2119
> Project: Geode
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: gfsh
> Reporter: Karen Smoler Miller
> Assignee: Kevin Duling
>
> Both gfsh connect and gfsh start server allow the specification on the
> command line of a user name and a password for use as credentials in
> authentication. Clear text versions of the user name and password are then
> visible
> 1. if the user runs gfsh history
> 2. in historyfile, if the user runs gfsh history --file=historyfile
> 3. in the output of ps
> It would be worth a check to see if clear text versions of the user or
> password end up in any locator or server logs. I don't believe it does for
> gfsh connect, but it might for the start server case.
