When going through a proxy, all I get is an Unauthorized error unless the creds are supplied up front. <br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Oct 31, 2011 at 3:49 PM, Jeff Blaine <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:jblaine@kickflop.net">jblaine@kickflop.net</a>></span> wrote:<br>

-a was).<br>
<br>
If MOS login is needed, pca will prompt you for your<br>
information just as if --askauth had been used.<div><div></div><div class="h5"><br>

I miss the -a command line option option for pca.<br>
<br>
When it comes to providing the MOS password I do not want the password<br>
stored cleartext in a config file, and I don't want it used on the<br>
command line where it can be read in the shell's command line history.<br>
<br>
I use pca on servers that connect to a local caching proxy. I used to<br>
run 'pca -i -a missing' to patch a system, but since the -a option was<br>
deprecated I seem to have lost the ability to transmit my MOS auth<br>
credentials to the proxy server without using --user=, --passwd=.<br>
<br>
Unless there's another way to do this (and there very well may be), how<br>
about if --user is specified without a matching --passwd, the password<br>
is prompted for on the shell before proceeding?<br>
