[BUG] Java Admin Client CLI doesn't connect #5855
Description
I'm trying to use command-line interactive Java admin client.
Starting like this, I have an Exception:
./bin/client.sh --no-gui

...Describe the bug
According to documentation, I'd expect client asking me login informations, and then displaying a shell.
Launching client without any parameter starts correctly GUI, and I can connect with same login informations.
Do I miss something ?
