can we see the value of alias with knoxcli.sh
Added an alias with the command
bin/knoxcli.sh create-alias ldcfpass --cluster preauth --value hadoop
Now I want to get the value of the alias just added ldcfpass using
knoxcli.sh.
Is it possible to see the value of an alias with knoxcli?
Thanks
Dilli

Don't agree.
If you don't know a password required to access a system then you can
change Knox to not work with it but you can't harvest the password and
access the system.
You are given access to Knox administration not necessarily to others.

A person logged into the box can
1. can set the value,
2. can update the value? (not sure of the answer for this, please
confirm)
3. can delete the value
4. list all the alias names and delete the values of all the aliases one
by one
5. but can not get the value for an alias
Not sure whether this adds to security.
But, this would be a negative for troubleshooting and support.
Thanks

No, I purposely did not provide that capability.
I am reluctant to provide a tool for harvesting passwords even though you
can change it when you have proper permissions.
