Problem Description

In Embedded GlassFish, when running the create-file-user subcommand with the --passwordfile option, the following error occurs and fails to execute the command.

PlainTextActionReporterFAILUREorg.jvnet.hk2.config.UnsatisfiedDependencyException: injection failed on com.sun.enterprise.security.cli.CreateFileUser.userpassword with class java.lang.StringDescription: create-file-user commandCannot find userpassword in create-file-user command model, file a bug
        Usage: create-file-user
	    [--authrealmname <authrealm_name>] [--target target] 
	    [--groups user_groups[:user_groups]*] 
	    [-?|--help[=<help(default:false)>]] username

Steps to reproduce

1. Create a password file as password.txt.

   AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD=mypassword
   

   References:

   • create-file-user - Eclipse GlassFish Server Reference Manual
     https://glassfish.org/docs/latest/reference-manual/create-file-user.html

     You can use the --passwordfile option of the asadmin(1M) command to specify the password for the user. The password file entry must be of the form AS_ADMIN_USERPASSWORD=user-password.

   • To Set a Password From a File - Eclipse GlassFish Server Security Guide
     https://glassfish.org/docs/latest/security-guide/system-security.html#GSSCG00096

     Instead of typing the password at the command line, you can access the password for a command from a file such as passwords.txt. The --passwordfile option of the asadmin utility takes the name of the file that contains the passwords. The entry for a password in the file must have the AS_ADMIN_ prefix followed by the password name in uppercase letters.

2. Save the following program as Program.java.

   import org.glassfish.embeddable.CommandResult;
   import org.glassfish.embeddable.CommandRunner;
   import org.glassfish.embeddable.GlassFish;
   import org.glassfish.embeddable.GlassFishProperties;
   import org.glassfish.embeddable.GlassFishRuntime;
   
   public class Program {
       public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
           GlassFishRuntime runtime = GlassFishRuntime.bootstrap();
           GlassFishProperties glassfishProperties = new GlassFishProperties();
           glassfishProperties.setPort("http-listener", 8080);
           glassfishProperties.setPort("https-listener", 8181);
           GlassFish glassfish = runtime.newGlassFish(glassfishProperties);
           glassfish.start();
               CommandRunner commandRunner = glassfish.getCommandRunner();        
               CommandResult commandResult = commandRunner.run(
                        "create-file-user", "--passwordfile=password.txt", "user1"); // Specify the text file of step1
               System.out.println("status: " + commandResult.getExitStatus());
               System.out.println("output: " + commandResult.getOutput());
               System.out.println("cause: " + commandResult.getFailureCause());
       }
   }

3. Compile and run it with glassfish-embedded-all.jar(*).

   $ javac -cp glassfish-embedded-all.jar Program.java
   $ java -cp .:glassfish-embedded-all.jar Program

   (*) appserver/extras/embedded/all/target/glassfish-embedded-all.jar

Then UnsatisfiedDependencyException occurs and the create-file-user subcommand fails.
