No password mechanism???

[Gilberto Ferreira]

Hi there folks

Hope everyone is in good time.

I've had create this script:
#!/bin/bash

while read a
do

PBS_REPOSITORY="root@pam@SERVER_IP2:backup"
PBS_PASSWORD="good_password"
PBS_FINGERPRINT="some_numbers"

proxmox-backup-client change-owner --repository=$PBS_REPOSITORY $a admin@pbs

done < vm-groups.txt

In the vm-groups.txt I have a lot VMS groups like that:
vm/100
vm/101
vm/102
vm/103
vm/104
vm/105
vm/106
vm/107
vm/108
vm/109
vm/110
vm/111
vm/112

So it's one per line, right?

When I ran the script I got this error:
Error: error building client for repository root@pam@SERVER_IP2:backup - no password input mechanism available

Why? What do I missing here?

Thanks a lot for any clue!

Best regards.
