hi ryan
can you list the password aliases?

$GF_HOME/bin/asadmin list-password-aliases -p $AS_ADMIN_PORT

Password option "password" defined in the environment is ignored.
Nothing to list.

thx
Martin

> Next I wanted to create a password alias so that the password is never shown in plain text in config files or anywhere else. I created a password alias using asadmin, then updated the jvm option to look like this:
>
> <jvm-options>-Djavax.net.ssl.keyStorePassword=${ALIAS=SslKeystorePasswordAlias}</jvm-options>
>
> Now when I start GlassFish I get an exception with the nested cause being:

> java.lang.IllegalStateException: Keystore was tampered with, or password was incorrect
>
> That makes me think the key alias was not replaced with the real password. Can someone please confirm whether or not I can use password aliases in JVM options, and tell me if there is a better way of securing my keystore?
