What Ludo explained below is what i use to provide the "password alias"
feature in the console. This new console feature is in today's nightly
build.
If you go to
http://localhost:4848/management/domain/create-password-alias , you see
that the parameter name is "AS_ADMIN_ALIASPASSWORD", so, I just pass
in "aliaspassword" as the key name for the password field when
creating the payload for this command.
I guess you can define the the parameter as "AS_ADMING_SSHPASSWORD",
and GUI can pass the password to you the same way by specifying
"sshpassword" as the key in the payload thats sent to REST.
I don't see the --sshpassword parameter now though.
Usage: asadmin [asadmin-utility-options] create-node-ssh --nodehost
<nodehost>
[--installdir <installdir(default:${com.sun.aas.productRoot})>]
[--nodedir <nodedir>] [--sshport <sshport(default:22)>]
[--sshuser <sshuser(default:${user.name})>] [--sshkeyfile <sshkeyfile>]
[--force[=<force(default:false)>]] [-?|--help[=<help(default:false)>]]
name
Anissa.
