Booting Weblogic server 6 without supplying password

Question

Is there a way to start a weblogic 6 server without supplying the
system password using -Dweblogic.management.password=? I want to be
able to start the server automatically without being prompted for a
password or exposing the password in a script. I tried futzing with
acl.boot.weblogic.server in fileRealm.properties, but that didn't seem
to do the trick. Thanks,
Matt

Answer 1

There are multiple ways to start WLS without being prompted for the
password:
1.) Use the password.ini file
2.) Use the weblogic.management.password System property.
a.) Use the -D option to specify it on the command line. If you don't
want to put the password in clear text in the script, modify the script to
read it from another location (which might be encrypted).
b.) Write a small Java program that looks up the password from
someplace that you feel is secure and then do this:
String myPassword = ...
System.setProperty("weblogic.management.password", myPassword);
weblogic.Server.main(args);
Hope this helps,
Robert
