I've been looking into this as well and made a little progress by digging around https://github.com/jenkinsci/credentials-plugin
For store, I used "system::system::jenkins" like in their tests. For domain I tried variations on the word "global" but none worked. I then tried underscore '_' as a wild guess and that worked. I tried that because it's in the url when you hover on (global) on the credentials page. Anyway, I haven't tried creating creds yet, but I can at least get them like: java -jar /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 -i ~jenkins/.ssh/id_rsa list-credentials system::system::jenkins and java -jar /usr/share/jenkins/jenkins-cli.jar -s http://localhost:8080 -i ~jenkins/.ssh/id_rsa get-credentials-as-xml system::system::jenkins _ somecredname (note that I require auth hence the -i. This might not be relevant in your case) Hope this helps some.
