ACTION: if you have "admin" hardcoded in scripts, this is a warning that things will change soon(ish)

[John Meinel]

I think we want a simpler single-command to get everything you need to

essentially gives you the structured .jenv information that you would use
(cert information, username, password, IP addresses, etc)
