Description Lukas Krejci 2013-03-18 10:06:24 UTC

Description of problem:

The built-in "login" command in the interactive CLI supports specifying the transport for the CLI-server communication as its 5th parameter:
login username pass host 1234 sslservlet
would log in as user "username" with given password on host "host", port 1234 over ssl.

This is not possible using the predefined "rhq" object that otherwise exposes the login and logout commands. This makes it impossible for the non-interactive CLI scripts to manually log in using a specific transport.

Note that the transport is guessed if missing from the port number - any port "ending" with 443 is supposed to be an sslservlet, otherwise servlet is tried.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.7.0-SNAPSHOT

How reproducible:
always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Configure RHQ server to listen on a non-standard port (say 1234) over HTTPS.
2. Try to connect to it through CLI's builtin "login" command
3. Try the same using the "rhq.login()" method
  
Actual results:
Unable to log in using the rhq.login() method

Expected results:
there should be the possibility to specify the transport with the rhq.login() method
