Entity identifiers

Many wstool and wstkeytool commands take one or more entity identifiers as arguments. An entity identifier is a string of the form EntityType:EntityName that uniquely identifies an entry in the repository; for example, a server, component, collection, or keystore name.

Table 8-1 provides examples of entity identifiers for each entity type.
