feat: independent session banner setting

[reubenmiller]

Control the display of the session banner when setting a new session independently to the "logger.hideSensitive" setting.

In go-c8y-cli v2.40.0, the default value of the "logger.hideSensitive" setting was change from false to true in order to prevent leakage of sensitive information when users are screensharing. However the new default value had negative user impact as it would obfuscate the session information when a user is activating a session (e.g. via set-session) which resulted in the user being unsure if the session activate was successful and unsure which session was selected.

Providing feedback to the user when setting a session is critical in most cases as it ensure they have the correct context (e.g. target Cumulocity instance) before they start interacting with the Cumulocity instance.

Given this background, a new setting has been created to control the display of the session information when activating a session, and the default value is to display the session information (e.g. host, tenant, username etc.).

Example

If you want to hide the displayed session information you have two options:

Option 1: Hide the session banner information

# Add this to your sehll profile for
eval "$(c8y settings update session.hide true --shell auto)"

# Or you can update for a specific session (after you have set the session)
# then setting the session will not print sensitive session information
c8y settings update session.hide true

Option 2: Skip printing of the entire banner when setting a session

You can add the --no-banner flag when setting the session, which will skip the printing of the session banner. The user will still get feedback that the command successfully activated a session by a simple message containing no sensitive information.

set-session --no-banner

Output

$ set-session --no-banner
✓ Session is now active
