Function

The create-password-alias subcommand creates an alias for a password. An alias is a token of the form ${ALIAS=aliasname}. The password that corresponds to the alias name is stored in an encrypted form.

This command can be run interactively or non-interactively.

• When run interactively, the command prompts the user for the alias password and to confirm the alias password.

• When run non-interactively, the command reads the alias password from a file that is passed through the --passwordfile option of the asadmin utility. The file must contain an entry of the form AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD=alias-password, where alias-password is the alias password. The non-interactive form of this command is suitable for use in scripts. This command is supported in remote mode only.
