• jhipster info output is mandatory for bug reports. This will allow us to use automated tests and genarate the broken sample using jhipster from-issue command.

Motivation for or Use Case

Based on the documentation

--auth - Specify the authentication type when skipping server side generation, has no effect otherwise but mandatory when using skip-server

"authenticationType" must be generated when --skip-server and --auth are used in the command line

Reproduce the error

Run

`jhipster --skip-server --auth oauth2

I have tested the issue on Angular an React

On and empty folder.

authenticationType is currently located in server cli options, if --skip-server is used, server cli options are ignored.
We should somehow add a fallback in common generator.
