[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] (WFLY-3288) Update add-user to use AESH or move it into the CLI

[Darran Lofthouse (JIRA)]

    [ https://issues.jboss.org/browse/WFLY-3288?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12963854#comment-12963854 ] 

Darran Lofthouse commented on WFLY-3288:
----------------------------------------

That could be very interested, won't go into too much detail in this Jira as it is not directly related shortly I am switching to the SSL related tasks we have outstanding including the out of the box enablement we talked about in Brno - managing an embedded instance could be useful there as well to get it all op based.

I can see this task may end up coming back my way combined with the other stuff ;-)

> Within the add-user utility it is difficult to handle situations where we do not have access to a java.io.Console which is the easiest way to handle password reading without an echo to the user e.g. in Cygwin
> Switching to AESH would allow us to use the implementation there to handle this.
> Alternatively it may actually make sense to make add-user a special mode of the CLI, we may at some point want to switch to runtime operations being executed on the server so porting to the CLI could be the first step to make this possible.
> Overall this is going to require further discussion so the comments here are just a starting point.
