How would I provide a username and password for an application?

Specifically, within a running app to which I am deploying and add-on I need to run a script to verify proper operation of the add-on installation. When the command to run the script is entered, the app asks for a username and password. I don’t need, and actually prefer not to have, any encryption as this is an airgapped system. So, basically what I’m looking for is -

command: do something \> output.txt  
username: provide the username when asked  
password: provide the password when asked  
fetch: src=/path/output.txt dest=/path/fetchedOutput.txt

regards, Richard

I figured it out. →

- user: name=name password=password
- command: do something
