If <channel name> is in the format "<username>:<password>@<channel>" then <username> and <password> will be set as the login username/password for <channel>.

Connects and authenticates to remote channel server

doLogin cli <channel name> Log in to a remote channel server. If <channel name> is not supplied, the default channel is used. To use remote functions in the installer that require any kind of privileges, you need to log in first. The username and password you enter here will be stored in your per-user PEAR configuration (~/.pearrc on Unix-like systems). After logging in, your username and password will be sent along in subsequent operations on the remote server.

Logs out from the remote channel server

doLogout clo <channel name> Logs out from a remote channel server. If <channel name> is not supplied, the default channel is used. This command does not actually connect to the remote server, it only deletes the stored username and password from your user configuration.
