-
–t ––terse
-
Indicates that any output data must be very
concise, typically avoiding human-friendly sentences and favoring well-formatted
data for consumption by a script. Default is false.
-
–e ––echo
-
Setting to true will echo the command line
statement on the standard output. Default is false.
-
–I ––interactive
-
If set to true (default), only the required
password options are prompted.
-
–H ––host
-
The machine name where the domain administration
server is running. The default value is localhost.
-
–p ––port
-
The HTTP/S port for administration. This is
the port to which you should point your browser in order to manage the domain.
For example, http://localhost:4848.
The default port number for Platform Edition is 4848. The default port
number for Enterprise Edition is 4849.
-
–s ––secure
-
If set to true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate
with the domain administration server.
-
–u ––user
-
The authorized domain administration server
administrative username.
If you have authenticated to a domain using the asadmin login command,
then you need not specify the --user option on subsequent
operations to this particular domain.
-
––passwordfile
-
The ––passwordfile
option specifies the name of a file containing the password entries in a specific
format. The entry for the password must have the AS_ADMIN_
prefix followed by the password name in uppercase letters.
For example, to specify the domain administration server password, use
an entry with the following format: AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password, where password is the actual
administrator password. Other passwords that can be specified include AS_ADMIN_MAPPEDPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD,
and AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD.
All remote commands must specify the admin password to authenticate
to the domain administration server, either through ––passwordfile or asadmin login, or interactively on the command
prompt. The asadmin login command can be used only to specify
the admin password. For other passwords, that must be specified for remote
commands, use the ––passwordfile
or enter them at the command prompt.
If you have authenticated to a domain using the asadmin login command, then you need not specify the admin password through the ––passwordfile option on subsequent operations
to this particular domain. However, this is applicable only to AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD option. You will still need to provide the other passwords, for
example, AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD, as and when required by
individual commands, such as update-file-user.
For security reasons, passwords specified as an environment variable
will not be read by asadmin.

-
Displays the help text for the command.
-
––target
