Interface LocalPassword

@Contract
public interface LocalPassword

Manage a local password, which is a cryptographically secure random number stored in a file with permissions that only allow the owner to read it. A new local password is generated each time the server starts. The asadmin client can use it to authenticate when executing local commands, such as stop-domain, without the user needing to supply a password.
