How to Change the Weblogic Password in Oracle fusion Middleware domains

1. Login as "oracle" and then set your environment variables by running setDomainEnv.sh as follows:

# su - oracle
# cd /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/bin
# . ./setDomainEnv.sh

2. Navigate to Weblogic security directory:

# cd /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/security
3. Enter the below command to change WSLT :

# java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount weblogic new_password .


Don’t forget the period “.” at the end of the above command, it is required.

4. After running the command, the file “DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift” will get updated.

# ls -lah

drwxr-xr-x  2 oracle dba 4.0K Jul 25 18:51 .
drwxr-xr-x 12 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 26 15:02 ..
-rw-r--r--  1 oracle dba 3.3K Aug 26 17:25 DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift

-rw-r--r--  1 oracle dba  23K Jul 25 18:51 XACMLRoleMapperInit.ldift

5. Delete or move the file “ldap” from "data" directory:

# cd /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/servers/AdminServer/data
# ls -lah
total 16K
drwxr----- 4 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 26 17:26 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 14 16:25 ..
drwxr----- 2 oracle dba 4.0K Jul 25 19:02 console
drwxr----- 7 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 26 15:03 ldap
drwxr----- 4 oracle dba 4.0K Jul 25 18:51 store

# mv ldap ldap_old
# ls -lah
total 16K
drwxr----- 4 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 26 17:26 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 14 16:25 ..
drwxr----- 2 oracle dba 4.0K Jul 25 19:02 console
drwxr----- 7 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 26 17:27 ldap_old
drwxr----- 4 oracle dba 4.0K Jul 25 18:51 store


6 . Go to the directory /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/servers/AdminServer/security

# cd /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/servers/AdminServer/security
# ls -lah
total 12K
drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 26 17:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 14 16:25 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba  150 Aug 26 15:01 boot.properties

# mv boot.properties boot.properties.bak
# ls -lah
total 12K
drwxr-xr-x 2 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 26 17:29 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 oracle dba 4.0K Aug 14 16:25 ..
-rw-r--r-- 1 oracle dba  150 Aug 26 17:29 boot.properties.bak


7. Create "boot.properties" file and change the password to the value already used on step 5.

- for example :
# vi boot.properties
#Wed Aug 14 16:34:41 KST 2013
password=test1234
username=weblogic


** Do write to "plain text". Weblogic will be encoded.


8. Start Weblogic Server (Weblogic Server will encrypt the password for you).

# cd /u01/app/oracle/ovm-manager-3/machine1/base_adf_domain/bin
# ./startWeblogic.sh &
