#### NAME

update-password-alias– updates a password alias

#### SYNOPSIS

`updates-password-alias` ––user admin_user [––passwordfile filename] [––host host_name] [––port port_number] [––secure|`–s`] [––terse=false] [––echo=false] [––interactive=true] [––help] [––aliaspassword alias_password] aliasname

#### DESCRIPTION

This command updates the transaction IDs in the named target. An alias is a token of the form ${ALIAS=passowrd-alias-password}. The password corresponding to the alias name is stored in encrypted form. The password-alias commands take 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.

This command is supported in remote mode only.

#### OPTIONS

`–u` `––user`

  The authorized domain application server administrative username.

`–w` `––password`

  The `––password` option is deprecated. Use `––passwordfile` instead.

`––passwordfile`

  This option replaces the `–– password` option. Using the `––password` option on the command line or through the environment is deprecated. The `––passwordfile` option specifies the name of a file containing the password entries in a specified format. The entry for the password must have the AS_ADMIN_ prefix followed by the password name in capital letters. For example, to specify the domain application 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, AS_ADMIN_SAVEDMASTERPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_MQPASSWORD, AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD, and so on.

`–H` `––host`

  The machine name where the domain application server is running. The default value is localhost.

`–p` `––port`

  The port number of the domain application server listening for administration requests. The default port number for Enterprise Edition is 4849.

`–s` `––secure`

  If set to true, uses SSL/TLS to communicate with the domain application server.

`–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` `––help`

  Displays the help text for the command.

`––aliaspassword`

  This is a separate and distinct password corresponding to the original password. WARNING: Passing this password on the command line is not secure.

  The password is optional and when omitted, the user is prompted.

#### OPERANDS

`aliasname`

  This is the name of the password as it appears in domain.xml.
