Comment 1 for bug 1716948

Credential management does need some attention.

All credential commands, bar 'update-credential', only deal with client side cloud credentials. Consequently, "go to the file and updating it" would only change what your client know, not what your controller knows.

'update-credential' command allows you to update a credential cached on the controller. Note it is an update not a replace, so only the values of the credential may be changed not its name, for example. And, yes, we will soon validate whether newly supplied credential will work on the affected models. It's not happening yet.

We are working on making this area better from usability perspective. It will be more intuitive once we are done. Docs will be updated too.
