Description Tom McKay 2013-04-30 12:38:15 UTC
When running the katello command line tool (katello CLI), the username and password must be specified on the command line.

katello -u admin -p password provider status
katello -u admin -p password shell

Please add a way to be prompted for at least the password:

katello -u admin shell
Password: ********
katello>

katello shell
Username: admin
Password: ********
katello>

Presumably any action that requires authentication could prompt for username and password.
