Barbara Pruijn updated GEODE-4691: ---------------------------------- Description: When starting a locator in gfsh like this {code:java} start locator --name=locator1{code} the default behavior is to auto-connect gfsh to the locator. >From the gfsh start locator help: {code:java} connect When connect is set to false , Gfsh does not automatically connect to the locator which is started using this command. Required: false Default (if the parameter is specified without value): true Default (if the parameter is not specified): true{code} When starting the locator with a Security Manager like this {code:java} start locator --name=locator1 --J=-Dgemfire.security-manager=org.apache.geode.examples.SimpleSecurityManager{code} The result is that gfsh does not auto connect to the locator. However this is not listed in the help command and is inconsistent in the user expectation. Solution: Update gfsh help to correctly list the behavior when the Security Manager is set via the --J parameter Acceptance criteria: gfsh should display correct connect help message for {code:java} help start locator{code} when using Security Manager. {code:java} connect When connect is set to false , Gfsh does not automatically connect to the locator which is started using this command. Required: false Default (if the parameter is specified without value): true Default (if the parameter is not specified): true If the locator is started with a Security Manager in --J parameter, the auto connect default value is false and the locator will not auto connect.{code} was: When starting a locator in gfsh like this {code:java} start locator --name=locator1{code} the default behavior is to auto-connect gfsh to the locator. >From the gfsh start locator help: {code:java} connect When connect is set to false , Gfsh does not automatically connect to the locator which is started using this command.
