since version 6.4 problems using zabbix-cli with a config file to create a user

[rodinux]

Hello,

I am a little contributor of Yunohost project. We manage a package to install zabbix connexted with ldap users.

Since version 6.4 I have problems with the install script for zabbix, I try debug on this branch https://github.com/YunoHost-Apps/zab.../tree/fix-ldap

we use zabbix-cli with a config file to create a user existing in the LDAP with a command like this

/usr/share/zabbix-cli/bin/zabbix-cli --config "/usr/share/zabbix-cli/zabbix-cli.toml" create_user "$zabbix_username" --firstname "$zabbix_username" --lastname "$zabbix_username" --passwd "$zabbix_password" --role superadmin --groups 7

The file /usr/share/zabbix-cli/zabbix-cli.toml is like this

[api]
url = "https://__DOMAIN____PATH__"
username = "Admin"
password = "zabbix"
auth_token = ""
verify_ssl = false

[app]
default_hostgroups = [
    "All-hosts",
]
default_admin_usergroups = []
default_create_user_usergroups = []
default_notification_users_usergroups = [
    "All-notification-users",
]
export_directory = "/usr/share/zabbix-cli/exports"
export_format = "json"
export_timestamps = false
use_auth_token_file = true
auth_token_file = "/usr/share/zabbix-cli/.zabbix-cli_auth_token"
auth_file = "/usr/share/zabbix-cli/.zabbix-cli_auth"
history = true
history_file = "/usr/share/zabbix-cli/history"
bulk_mode = "strict"
allow_insecure_auth_file = true
legacy_json_format = false

[app.output]
format = "table"
color = true
paging = false
theme = "default"

[logging]
enabled = true
log_level = "INFO"
log_file = "/usr/share/zabbix-cli/log/zabbix-cli.log"

[plugins]

Reading the documentation I also have add before the command create_user something like

echo 'Admin::zabbix' > /usr/share/zabbix-cli/.zabbix-cli_auth`

.

But it seems the zabbix-cli wait for the password and nothing happen at this step... if I put enter I have a message

Warning: ? Password: ✗ ERROR: Input cannot be empty.

here some logs...

Why this operation need a request on the https://domain.tld/api_jsonrpc.php ? Why zabbix-cli did not read the file zabbix-cli.toml to have the correct password ??

Maybe you should ask those, who created that zabbix-cli thing? That is not part of official stuff...
