confused about asadmin --passwordfile option

Is this the right mailing list for a question about asadmin utility? If
not, please direct me elsewhere.

Does the --passwordfile file contain the admin password in encrypted
form, something like this:

  AS_ADMIN_ADMINPASSWORD=YWRtaW5hZG1pbg==

or cleartext like

  AS_ADMIN_ADMINPASSWORD=adminadmin

Currently, it seems that I need to have it encrypted. But, it used to
work with cleartext. Has there been a change since the release of the
Java EE 5 SDK? I am running the asadmin from Java EE 5 SDK.

Thanks,

Mark
