Description Preethi Thomas 2010-09-17 12:08:29 UTC

Description of problem:

pulp.client.connection.RestlibException: 401: "Authorization failed. Check your username and password or your certificate"

if the -p admin option is not entered. It would be better if the user id prompted for password if the -p option was not entered

Or a message like 

[root@preethi certs]# pulp-admin auth login 
username and password are required. Try --help
 would make more sense



[root@preethi certs]# pulp-admin auth login -u admin
