Description
There are a couple of different ways to present the user-name and password to be used when connecting to Couchbase using the CBQ shell. One is to embed the user-name/password combination in the URL of the engine being pointed to, like this:
cbq -engine=http://test1:pw1@localhost:8093
The other is to present the user-name and password using the -u -p command line options, like this:
cbq -engine=http://localhost:8093 -u test1 -p pw1
Both options currently work for mundane passwords, but only the latter option works for passwords containing odd characters. (See MB-21161.)
Any use of the embedded form for CBQ in our documentation should be converted to the -u -p form.
