Overview

It would be nice to support authentication via username and password in the CLI. The most pressing use-case is for recovery situations, such as accessing Nexus via the technician port proxy to reset an overly-restrictive IP allowlist.

Define the username/password flow for recovery access through the Nexus technician port proxy, then add coverage showing that the CLI can authenticate with those credentials.
