The bin/client script does not prompt for password

This has been tested with a local and remote fuse container. Also, in addition to testing this against JBoss Fuse 6.1, the same was tested with JBoss A-MQ 6.1, and it behaves exactly the same.

If you leave the users.properties unmodified, in other words the line

#admin=admin,admin

remains commented out, you will, indeed get prompted for a password. If you change the users.properties, uncommenting the line

admin=admin,admin

then you run

bin\client -h localhost -a 8101 -u admin

you will not get propted for a password, but you will be connected successfully to the console.

If you add a line to the end of users.properties such as

ssh=ssh,ssh

then update the org.apache.karaf.shell.cfg, uncommenting and changing the sshRole to be

sshRole=ssh

then if you try logging in without the -p option

bin\client -a 8101 -h localhost -u ssh

it will fail, but if you include -p option

bin\client -a 8101 -h localhost -u ssh -p ssh

then it will succeed.
