### Attributes

The following table describes attributes for the `server` element.

Table 3–17 `server` Attributes

Attribute | Default | Description
--- | --- | ---
`user` | `admin` | (optional) The username used when logging into the application server administration instance.
`password` | none | (optional) Deprecated, use `passwordfile` instead. The password used when logging into the application server administration instance.
`passwordfile` | none | (optional) File containing passwords. The password from this file is retrieved for communication with the application server administration instance. If both `password` and `passwordfile` are specified, `passwordfile` takes precedence.
`host` | `localhost` | (optional) Target server. When targeting a remote server, use the fully qualified hostname.
`port` | `4849` | (optional) The administration port on the target server.
`instance` | name of default instance | (optional) Target application server instance.
`domain` |  | (applies to sun-appserv-update only) The domain in which the application has been previously deployed.
`instanceport` | none | (applies to sun-appserv-instance only) Deprecated.
`nodeagent` | none | (applies to sun-appserv-instance only, required if `action` is `create`, otherwise ignored) The name of the node agent on which the instance is being created.
`debug` | `false` | (applies to sun-appserv-instance only, optional) Deprecated. If `action` is set to `start`, specifies whether the server starts in debug mode. This attribute is ignored for other values of `action`. If `true`, the instance generates additional debugging output throughout its lifetime.
`upload` | `true` | (applies to sun-appserv-deploy only, optional) If `true`, the component is transferred to the server for deployment. If the component is being deployed on the local machine, set upload to `false` to reduce deployment time.
`virtualservers` | default virtual server only | (applies to sun-appserv-deploy only, optional) A comma-separated list of virtual servers to be deployment targets. This attribute applies only to application (`.ear`) or web (`.war`) components and is ignored for other component types.
