Caching username and password and general usage

[bradical]

I feel guilty that I did not check this out earlier but this very cool. Thanks for building.

I had a couple of questions. I noticed that when I run grunt cascadeDeploy it asks me for creds.

1. Is that the correct way to deploy?
2. Are those creds cacheable right now? Seems to prompt on each deploy.
3. Where is it storing the creds in the directory? somewhere in the node_modules directory?

Again, thanks for building. This is a really great example of how you can manage source code externally in Git and then push to Cascade with webservices.

I've avoided caching the credentials for security reasons.

I could modify the code so that the options would include the ability to pass in authentication from the calling code. This would put the burden of storing the credentials back at the grunt level.

Where I'm using it I make a single call with all of the files I want to send and that avoids having to reenter credentials multiple times.

The other place I access Cascade I do store the credentials: https://github.com/jraller/cascade-access-tool

Got it. That makes sense. Thanks!
