In case when kerberos authentication is correctly configured in security realm and user without correct kerberos ticket tries to connect to Management CLI, then Management CLI asks for kerberos username in interactive mode; yet user cannot input username due to console limitations. Maybe better solution is not to allow interactive mode for kerberos authentication for user without ticket at all?
I will submit a fix for this along with some other fixes, for some other BZs raised I am having to add some default JAAS configuration, what I will do is disable interactive mode for Kerberos authentication at the same time.
