I thought Oleg asked for the use of the password? I don't want there
to be a way in 2.1.x and then it be completely different in the 3.x
line. It needs to be the same.

With 2.1.0 imminent, we'll need to finalise on this soon - are the
current options satisfactory?

I don't view this as a temporary measure - as my second comment
said, you may need a password to get the plugin in the first

I have never seen an environment where read-only access to central
or central replica is authenticated. Short of that it's just
another plugin to be downloaded and used. Or I completely missed
the question?
That's right, it's the situation I was thinking of. I was thinking
along the lines of a vetted repository where direct use of central
is not used. It's maybe still unlikely that would be authenticated,
but I wouldn't rule it out.
Thinking it through, to me this actually feels a more natural fit
in the CLI now, along with the other settings-based operations,
pretty much symmetrical with the location of the operation to
decode the passwords in the settings file. For a user, manipulation
of the settings file is generally a set-up task, before you do
anything else. This location also makes it very snappy, not going
through the whole plugin cycle, and had very little impact on the
code since it was already mostly achieved through the sec-
dispatcher and cipher. A plugin for this would see infrequent
releases - perhaps none - which seems an odd evolutionary cycle for
an independent piece of code.
Not that tied to it being in the CLI if a suitable replacement is
already in place, but I hope this is somewhat convincing :)
Cheers,
Brett
