Add support for `-SaveCredentials` in powerclicore #45

Open mattmoor opened 4 years ago

In particular, we'd like to see support for a credential store that we can prepopulate via our binding, so that folks can use vmware/powerclicore to run authenticated scripts as Kubernetes jobs, and in other contexts like functions.

I'm assuming given there has been no activity on this since original posting in 2020, this request is not in consideration?

The Windows OS provides credentials encryption while on Linux systems, there is no equivalent. Thus, it is not possible to implement a secure credentials store on the Linux platform.

For that reason, we haven't ported the credential management feature to PowerShell Core.

If you want to store credentials in plain-text, you can use the standard PowerShell command Get-Content to read the credentials from one or more text files into a string variable.

@atanasa - recommended for closure based on https://github.com/vmware/powerclicore/issues/45#issuecomment-1397051886.
