Darran Lofthouse commented on WFCORE-306:
-----------------------------------------

Just scheduling so it is considered, not committing to the exact release as this is still lower priority than some other tasks.

We are in the process of exposing the management of users as management operations so the CLI is looking more appropriate for this to be wrapped in a CLI command - in addition to this the CLI also has the support for embedded mode so management of users can happen whether the server is up or not.

> 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.
