Hello All,
    This is to let you know that we are doing a fundamental change to
the GlassFish admin CLI (aka asadmin) and that is to remove the support
the (so called) reusable passwords on command invocations. Thus,
--password on any remote asadmin command will not be supported.

Following links have details:

- The project page --
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/javaee5/admin-infra/subprojects/asadminlogin/index.html
- The issue # 212 --
https://glassfish.dev.java.net/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=212

Please start modifying your automated scripts if any, using
--passwordfile. If you can wait, please see if the new feature "asadmin
login" is useful to you (we believe so) in which case, the remote
commands may require neither --passwordfile nor will you be prompted for
the admin password.

Let me know if you have any issues. And yes, spread the word.

It looks like February 15, 2006 is when --password, --adminpassword
followed by their cleartext values will generate an error. If there is
any change in the plan, I will let you know in advance.

Regards,
Kedar
