Improve --help and documentation for "encodepassword -a/--algorithm" in the Spring Boot CLI

[manueljordan]

About Spring Boot CLI 3.1.4 when is executed the ./spring --help encodepassword command appears:

./spring --help encodepassword
spring encodepassword - Encode a password for use with Spring Security

usage: spring encodepassword [options] <password to encode>

Option                    Description                            
------                    -----------                            
-a, --algorithm <String>  The algorithm to use (default: default)

examples:

    To encode a password with the default encoder:
        $ spring encodepassword mypassword

    To encode a password with pbkdf2:
        $ spring encodepassword -a pbkdf2 mypassword

Two things to consider:

• About default: default is really BCrypt (I think it should be updated)
• Should be listed all the possible valid values for -a/--algorithm

The improvements of both should be applied for the command's output and Reference documentation.

Thanks for your understanding

Now looks like this:

spring encodepassword - Encode a password for use with Spring Security

usage: spring encodepassword [options] <password to encode>

Option                    Description                                         
------                    -----------                                         
-a, --algorithm <String>  The algorithm to use. Supported algorithms: default,
                            bcrypt, pbkdf2. The default algorithm uses bcrypt 
                            (default: default)                                

examples:

    To encode a password with the default (bcrypt) encoder:
        $ spring encodepassword mypassword

    To encode a password with pbkdf2:
        $ spring encodepassword -a pbkdf2 mypassword

Thanks for the quick update ... I assumed that for legacy support MD5 and SHA256 were possible too. Interesting.
