To create the password alias

1. Ensure that the domain is running.

2. Create the alias for the admin user. To do this, from the directory where the domain.xml file resides (install_dir/domains/domain_dir/config by default), run the following asadmin command:

   create-password-alias --port 4848 --user admin --password adminadmin --aliaspassword adminadmin adminalias

3. Insert the alias in a passwordfile

   $cat passwordfile

   AS_ADMIN_PASSWORD=${ALIAS=adminalias}
