I understand it's the latter. Incidentally, I had provided you one API
to detect the condition if the user is an anonymous user and to make GUI
goto landing page directly. Do you have any update on that?

As you can see from the highlighted output, you need to pass the
passwordfile option. so it should be
asadmin create-file-user --authrealmnname=admin-realm --passwordfile
password.txt admin
and password.txt should contain
AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD=adminadmin (or whatever password you choose to have)

If you mean change-master-password, then yes we don't have that
capability. But then the problem stems far before. We have a backward
compatibility issue on masterpassword because we don't prompt for one
and we have not yet incorporated the v2 notion/cpabilities regarding
masterpassword.
