Prompt for username and password on initial app start and connection change.  #178

Description

@frankgiordano

Improve authentication handling in a way that the username and password isn't exposed within the configuration (config.json) file.

Proposal:

  • Remove username and password json settings from config.json.
  • Prompt username and password when app starts for the first connection json details from config.json.
  • Each "change" connection command prompt for username and password.

Things to consider:

  • Save password as encrypted internal data.
  • Perform a simple Rest API like z/OSMF system check to validate given username and password and provide return status message.
  • We may need to reenter username and password for the current connection detail. Maybe use linux way like: usermod -l new_username old_username and -p for password
  • Disable special key combination features while in username/password prompt like mkdir command.
