Contributions summary:Alina primarily focused on enhancing the CDAP CLI tool by implementing support for security-related requests. Their work included adding authentication to various HTTP request types (PUT, POST, GET, DELETE) within the testing framework to validate the implementation. These changes involved modifying existing test classes and adding new methods to handle authenticated requests, specifically using access tokens. This suggests a direct impact on improving the security capabilities of the CDAP CLI.
