Description of problem: Using hammer to dump templates out, it will not prompt for the password when redirecting the output to a file, resulting in an error. Passing the --password option to hammer does work but is not acceptable as this leaves the password in clear text in the users history. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.1.7 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. # hammer --username admin template dump --name epel > snippet-epel.erb 2. 3. Actual results: # hammer --username admin template dump --name epel > snippet-epel.erb Invalid username or password Expected results: As per when hammer is run without redirecting to a file # hammer --username admin template dump --name epel [Foreman] Password for admin: Additional info: Customer has suggested that dump should have a switch to send the output to a file, in the same way as the create has a switch to import from a file.
