Description

What would you like to be improved?

The Gravitino client currently supports simple authentication but does not allow setting passwords for simple auth.

How should we improve?

We should add the functionality to set passwords on the client side.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Examine the existing client authentication code to understand how simple auth is currently implemented. Look for where the authentication mode is set and how credentials are sent. Add a password field to the client configuration and ensure it is transmitted during the authentication process.
