Authenticates the specified user name and password with the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server running on the specified host computer and port; you can specify multiple hosts and ports

This option is optional if you run a CLI command on the BMC TrueSight Infrastructure Management Server host computer. However, if you do use this option for local authentication and the credentials that you provide are invalid, the command fails.
