Adminserver not Statrting Up

Question

We see the below error in our Weblogic's AdminServer logs, after a windows reboot.
"BEA-000362> <Server failed. Reason: [Management:141266]Parsing Failure in config.xml: java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: In production mode, it's not allowed to set a clear text value to the property: PasswordEncrypted of ServerStartMBean"
Also we observe that the config.xml was modified during the time of reboot. The managed servers are working without issues.
The WL version is 10.3.0
Any idea?

Hi,
As the error suggests that the "config.xml" might have some Clear Text Passwords which is not allowed when you run it in production mode , Or it is also possible that due to some Wrong editing this files got wrong Encrypted Password...
So please try the below...
Step1). in your "setDomainEnv.sh" script set the "PRODUCTION_MODE=false" or use the following option in your server StartScript: " -Dweblogic.ProductionModeEnabled=false"
Step2). Now enter the clear Text Passwords in the "config.xml"
Step3). Now Start your Server. To see everything is OK or not.
Step4). Now before changing your Server to PRODUCTION MODE back....
Open a command prompt and then Move inside <DOMAIN_HOME>\bin directory
Now run the "setDomainEnv.sh" to set the DOMAIN Environment variables
please use the following command to Encrypt the ClearText Passwords ..
java weblogic.security.Encrypt
Enter Password: something
{3DES}7sdsdHJs23ddsJTw=
Step5). The above encrypted values you need to put in the "config.xml" file
Step6). Now Enable the PRODUCTION_MODE=true and then start your Server.
NOTE: Before making any changes to "config.xml" please take a Backup of it.
