Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-1045:
---------------------------------------------
Whatever syntax is used in .accumulorc (or, my preference, .accumulo/config,
but optionally overridden as a command-line --config <file>) to specify the
authentication mechanism, it should be extensible. At some point, I might want
tell it to use gnome-keyring.
openssl has some good extensible syntax for passing in passphrases as command
line options (-p env:variableName or -p file:filename, -p pass:literalPassword,
-p stdin, etc.) that might be useful to consider for inspiration.

> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Reporter: Christopher Tubbs
> Assignee: Christopher Tubbs
>
> Create a suite of command-line utilities (probably based on the shell's
> existing commands, or a subset of them), rather than be restricted to the
> limitations of the shell to issue these commands.
> This adds benefit by being able to more simply pipe to external utilities,
> like awk, grep, sed, etc. It also has the potential to eliminate restrictions
> when scanning for binary data, standardize command line arguments better
> (especially by removing the shell "current-table" context), and leverage
> settings/profiles stored in some file (like $HOME/.accumulo/config).
