Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid

Question

Hi,
After ADF Security Configuration, I am getting following error while running jspx pages:
<Jun 25, 2010 11:34:51 AM IST> <Notice> <Security> <BEA-090082> <Security initializing using security realm myrealm.>
<Jun 25, 2010 11:34:51 AM IST> <Critical> <Security> <BEA-090402> <Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid; The user name and/or password from the boot identity file (boot.properties) is not valid. The boot identity may have been changed since the boot identity file was created. Please edit and update the boot identity file with the proper values of username and password. The first time the updated boot identity file is used to start the server, these new values are encrypted.>
(Purposefully not putting entire run log to avoid cluttering. Can provide if needed.)
Please note that before ADF Security Configuration, I was able to run my jspx pages.
I have condifured ADF security as follows:
'ADF Authentication and Authorization' model
Form-based authentication with default login and error pages
No Automatic Grants
Redirect upon successful authentication - one of my jspx page (which was rendering fine before ADF Security Config)
Also is it possible to temporarily disable ADF security?
Where is the boot.properties located?
Thanks in advance

This error usually occurs on Weblogic server when identity store is changed. Basically the default admin user name password which is used by weblogic when u start with startWeblogic.cmd does not work.
so this is definitely not an issue of ADF Security.
You can remove ADF security from your application from the same menu which you created ADF security. Third option removed all security configuration. Before that you may want to copy your jazn-data.xml and keep it for backup.
boot.properties is to be created in domain\servers\AdminServer\security if present just edit it and
password=
username=
When you run the server it will encrypt the contents.
But as i see it is not an issue with ADF security and unless you have changed something in weblogic console realm providers not an issue with weblogic also.
Easy solution is to clode Jdev and delete defaultdomain in : C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.2.36.55.36 and satrt Jdeveloper. Your domain will be automatically created.
