Specify user:pass from stdin rather than on command line
Final Release Note
Description
The current way of specifying username and password, --userpass xxx:yyy
is undesirable as the command line is visible under /proc. There are couple of alternatives (at least until [#105] is implemented):
- Allow them to be picked up from stdin, e.g.,
--userpass -
would read it from stdin, allowing a command line likeecho $userpass | yottadb -run %ydbgui
which ensures that the authentication credentials are visible neither under /proc nor in a shell history. - Use the mechanism the encryption plugin uses to get the password.
