The following features will not be available in the cli:

* in describe keyspace you will not get current index rebuilds
* in describe keyspace you will not get current built indexes  

Do you want to create a ticket to add JMX user name and password support to 
cassandra-cli ?  https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA
