I am sorry you are running into this. Hope we had explained it a bit better.
The .asadminpass file is not the one that --passwordfile expects. These two files (although somewhat related) are completely different beasts :)
- The one that passwordfile expects is a simple properties file with syntax:
-- AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=secret
- The .asadminpass file is created by a login interface (see: asadmin login and asadmin create-domain --savelogin). This essentially was thought as a shortcut to passwordfile, but apparently it's causing confusion in your case.
Let me know if this explains.
