Running the headpin cli, there is no longer an ability to pass in credentials. For example: headpin shell -u admin -p admin does not work. Using packages: katello-certs-tools-1.0.6-1.el6.noarch katello-cli-headpin-0.2.0-1.el6_2.noarch katello-glue-candlepin-0.3.0-2.el6_2.noarch katello-headpin-0.2.5-3.el6_2.noarch katello-candlepin-cert-key-pair-1.0-1.noarch katello-common-0.3.0-2.el6_2.noarch katello-headpin-all-0.2.5-3.el6_2.noarch katello-cli-common-0.3.1-1.el6_2.noarch katello-configure-upgrade-0.3.1-2.el6_2.noarch katello-configure-0.3.1-2.el6_2.noarch katello-selinux-0.1.10-1.el6.noarch
This never worked: # katello shell -u admin -p admin Usage: katello [options] katello: error: no such option: -u but this is fine :) # katello -u admin -p admin shell katello> I am renaming this bug to "We need a man page for this command" and going to create one right now.

*** Bug 818686 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Since also Justin was confused, I will consider to add some better error handling. With the current CLI architecture I doubt it would be easy to implement "free" options. Currently we distinguish those two classes of options.
https://github.com/Katello/katello/pull/121 Will need to update for headpin
This is not done yet.
updated the manpages for katello and headpin. https://github.com/Katello/katello/commit/e7689da34b9e0c4879adedef568f54ba253893ce
man headpin displays all commands but refers to katello and not headpin. Shouldn't this be changed? e.g.: DESCRIPTION - The katello program is an command line application for interaction + The headpin program is an command line application for interaction or - Command 'katello activation_key': + Command 'headpin activation_key': add_system_group - add system group to an activation key create - create an activation key delete - delete an activation key Environment: ----------- # headpin -u admin -p admin version Headpin 1.1.15-2h.el6_3 * candlepin-0.7.13-1.el6_3.noarch * candlepin-tomcat6-0.7.13-1.el6_3.noarch * katello-candlepin-cert-key-pair-1.0-1.noarch * katello-certs-tools-1.1.8-1h.el6_3.noarch * katello-cli-1.1.11-1h.el6_3.noarch * katello-cli-common-1.1.11-1h.el6_3.noarch * katello-common-1.1.15-2h.el6_3.noarch * katello-configure-1.1.11-1h.el6_3.noarch * katello-glue-candlepin-1.1.15-2h.el6_3.noarch * katello-headpin-1.1.15-2h.el6_3.noarch * katello-headpin-all-1.1.15-2h.el6_3.noarch * katello-selinux-1.1.2-1h.el6_3.noarch
Also tested man katello and saw the man page.
Verified: * candlepin-0.7.13-1.el6_3.noarch * candlepin-tomcat6-0.7.13-1.el6_3.noarch * katello-candlepin-cert-key-pair-1.0-1.noarch * katello-certs-tools-1.1.8-1h.el6_3.noarch * katello-cli-1.1.11-1h.el6_3.noarch * katello-cli-common-1.1.11-1h.el6_3.noarch * katello-common-1.1.15-2h.el6_3.noarch * katello-configure-1.1.11-1h.el6_3.noarch * katello-glue-candlepin-1.1.15-2h.el6_3.noarch * katello-headpin-1.1.15-2h.el6_3.noarch * katello-headpin-all-1.1.15-2h.el6_3.noarch * katello-selinux-1.1.2-1h.el6_3.noarch
