[jbosstools-issues] [JBoss JIRA] (JBIDE-25374) Validate Red Hat credentials when entering them / setting up CDK adapter

Martin Malina commented on JBIDE-25374:
---------------------------------------

Yeah, maybe it would make more sense to only do something for credentials inside a cdk server adapter. Because that's where currently wrong credentials are not handled well. For example if you use wrong credentials for EAP download, then it will fail properly and you're able to correct this. But in the case of CDK this currently doesn't work well.

If we were to check credentials somewhere before actually starting minishift, we could use something similar that the devsuite installer does - use the same api. TBH, I'm not convinced if this is really something we should do. But currently I don't see any other way how to improve the current situation. It's not likely that we'll figure out how to show a password dialog mid-minishift startup, right?

> In JBIDE-25260 we were dealing with the issue that when the credentials are wrong when starting CDK in devstudio, the user will be asked to correct them in the Console view which brings problems.
> Gerard Braad suggested that we should validate the credentials when setting them up. I think it's actually not a bad idea. We would need to figure out when/where to do this. Also, the credentials could still become invalid before starting CDK, but the risk would be much lower. So it's a good question if it's worth or a good idea to do something like this.
