Change subject: Stop login retry if API says username is invalid
......................................................................
Stop login retry if API says username is invalid
After an unsuccessful login using a password from the password file,
when the API returns 'NotExists' or 'Invalid', repeating the login
process with a new password supplied from the terminal by the user
will not remedy the situation. Raise NoUsername exception instead,
as the problem is a config issue.
