             Summary: gfsh user and password visible in clear text
                 Key: GEODE-2119
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/GEODE-2119
             Project: Geode
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: gfsh
            Reporter: Karen Smoler Miller


Both gfsh connect and gfsh start server allow the specification on the command 
line of a user name and a password for use as credentials in authentication.  
Clear text versions of the user name and password are then visible
1. if the user runs gfsh history
2. in historyfile, if the user runs gfsh history --file=historyfile
3. in the output of ps

It would be worth a check to see if clear text versions of the user or password 
end up in any locator or server logs.  I don't believe it does for gfsh 
connect, but it might for the start server case.
