Paul McCulloch commented on KARAF-4880:
---------------------------------------
"With clear text passwords client reads the passwords from users.properties."
Not quite true - with clear passwords & no -u option specified an arbitrary
user is chosen from the properties file & logged in. The user chosen is
determined by the iteration order of a HashSet (which is undefined).
> Can't use Client from a script when passwords are encrypted

> Key: KARAF-4880
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KARAF-4880
> Project: Karaf
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 4.0.7
> Reporter: Paul McCulloch
> Assignee: Jean-Baptiste Onofré
>
> Without the old -p option there is no straightforward way to use the client
> to connect to a karaf using encrypted password authentication.
> With clear text passwords client reads the passwords from users.properties.
> My use case is an (izpack) installer which uses the client to add features &
> apply configurations. The installer prompts the user for admin account
> details & should pass these to the client.
> Using SSH keys is problematic I believe. I would need the user (or the
> installer) to keep a copy of the key generated on initial installation for
> use in subsequent upgrades.
> My installer is cross platform, so relying on open SSH etc. as a workaround
> is problematic.
> The -p option was removed from client as part of KARAF-1475
