gns3util auth set-default-user

Mark a stored user as the default for a standalone GNS3 server

​
Synopsis

Mark one of the saved users as the default for a standalone GNS3 server. When no —user flag is given on subsequent commands, the default user for that server URL is used automatically. Requires —server (or the global -s flag) to identify which server to update. If [username] is omitted a fuzzy picker opens so you can choose interactively.
