Definition
Creates an alias for a password and stores it in domain.xml. An alias is a token
of the form ${ALIAS=password-alias-password}. The password
corresponding to the alias name is stored in an encrypted form. This
command takes both a secure interactive form (in which the user is prompted
for all information) and a more script-friendly form, in which the password is
propagated on the command line.
Deletes a password alias.
Updates the password alias IDs in the named target.
Lists all password aliases.
This remote command modifies the admin password. This command is
interactive in that the user is prompted for the old and new admin password
(with confirmation).
This local command is used to modify the master password. This command is
interactive in that the user is prompted for the old and new master password.
This command will not work unless the server is stopped.
