Red Hat Portal user "Remmele" had the idea to prompt the user for login information: https://access.redhat.com/site/discussions/874773

Passing the login information using shell variables can be a security problem unless you're dropping shell history support for your command:

HISTFILE="" SATELLITE_LOGIN=mylogin SATELLITE_PASSWORD=mypass ./arsa.py -l

Another idea is to also implement username/password files (with permissions 0600) - the script could also read the credentials from that file.

@stdevel
Update arsa.py 
Fixed issue #1 by implementing auth files and login credential prompting.
An auth file includes a valid username/password combination and needs to have file permissions 0600.
