I still believe we should find a way to leverage this from the 
pulp-admin cli core; as all of this has been built.  No reason to keep 
spending cycles reinventing this.  In pulp-admin, we allow for -u -p 
*before* the command; and --username --password after the command.  We 
also allow for you to pull down a certificate to be used with successive 
commands via the CLI:

pulp-admin auth login --username <username>  --password <password>

We are in the process of refactoring/reorganizing the pulp client code; 
I'll have slagle take a look at reuse for the katello cli.

I thought we were supporting two types; this is what I have seen and 
expect to see via the web ui.

1. redhat
2. custom

We should stay away from "rhn" or "cdn" imo.

I don't think this is in place yet.  We have a design for an org 
selector in the top web ui banner.  jrist may know the plans for wiring 
this up.

Assume this would just be for testing?  We won't want to seed any orgs 
in a users install.  They will need to define during a "first boot" process.
