How restart weblogic server after Authentication error

Question

I am trying to restart my weblogic server (Weblogic Server Version: 10.3.5). It throws the below error. I used to restart is regularly earlier but it is throwing this error today.

I have replaced the boot.properties file with the correct username and password and on trying to restart, I see that it is getting encrypted, but the server is not starting up. I have also tried modifying the config.xml and entered the decrypted password, but still I get the error.

Starting WLS with line:

Any help would be great. Thanks!

Answer 1

I have solved in this way:

• Under {domain}\servers\AdminServer\data\ldap delete just files on the root and not the ones inside ldapfiles
• Remove username - passwrod from boot.properties file under {domain}\servers\AdminServer\security

After the restart, it asks me the credentails and it works as expected.

Answer 2

Just do a root level search for boot.properties & edit.lok in the weblogic server and delete them. (take the back up before deleting it) and restart the server.

It works :-)

Answer 3

try to remove the ManagedServerDir/data/ldap directory.

do not forget to backup

Answer 4

As for me, I had to edit the file boot.properties and set there AGAIN the login and password for the weblogic server. The previous values were encrypted and obviously, some SW couldn't manage it correctly.

Answer 5

Got the solution. I deleted the edit.lok file and then tried the restart. It worked.
