For a long period of time we have needed was something similar. The
way it currently stands, it can hardly be scripted easily for various
file users. For example, what if you want to add 10 users with different
passwords? The ideal way to fix this is to have:
AS_ADMIN_<user-id>PASSWORD=<actual-password-for-user-id>
(A slight change from your expectation, but very close).
I am glad the current thing works for you.
I thought I had filed an RFE ...
