Each action specified using the AppManage utility requires a password to access the administration domain where the action will be executed. You can specify the password using clear text or an encrypted key. The
-pw option always takes a clear text password. The
-cred option takes the name and location of a property file containing username and encrypted password. If the
-cred option is used, the
-user and
-pw options should not be used.

john and encrypted password
jH86n0ty is created as follows.
