[jira] [Updated] (QPID-3437) qpid-config address option confusing
in help
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3437?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]
Pavel Moravec updated QPID-3437:
--------------------------------
Component/s: Documentation
Labels: patch (was: )
Description:
qpid-config --help prints confusing / ambiguity information how to use address
option (-a user/password@broker). On first place it is specified without -a
option (wrong), second place is not descriptive about address syntax:
qpid-config --help
Usage: qpid-config [OPTIONS]
..
ADDRESS syntax:
[username/password@] hostname [:<port>]
[username/password@] ip-address [:<port>]
..
General Options:
..
-a <address>, --broker-addr=<address>
Address of qpidd broker
Proposed patch removes the ADDRESS syntax part and adds the address syntax to -a option (to follow structure of the help).
was:
Different qpid-* tools use different command line options for authentication. E.g.:
qpid-perftest --username guest --password passwd -b broker --mechanism MECH
qpid-config -a guest/passwd@broker --sasl-mechanism=MECH
qpid-stat guest/passwd@broker -sasl-mechanism=MECH
Further to that, some tools (i.e. qpid-tool) don't have an option to set up SASL mechanism at all.
It makes sense to unify these options, plus add missing where desired.
See attached table with list of tools, their options and some further comments (some minor bugs found as well).
Remaining Estimate: 1h
Original Estimate: 1h
