Cannot start WebLogic Managed Server

Question

Hi,
I have an weblogic domain on a physical machine with two servers (AdminServer and osb_server1 [Managed Server]). (Weblogic 10.3.6)
I started nodeManager and enrolled the domain using nmEnroll command through WLST.
I can start "AdminServer" thourgh nmStart('AdminServer') command. AdminServer starts successfully.
However, when I want to start managed server (osb_server1):
1. Through WebLogic administrator console it says:
(Warning) The user is not authorized to perform lifecycle operations on server osb_server1.
(Warning) All of the servers selected are currently in a state which is incompatible with this operation or are not associated with a running Node Manager or you are not authorized to perform the action requested. No action will be performed.
2. Using startManagedWebLogic.cmd script after entering username/password, it returns authentication denied.

3. Using nmStart command on nodeManager, it is complaining about boot.properties file.
I can login AdminServer with same account without problems.
Best Regards,

Copied boot.properties from AdminServer to osb_server1 and the error below occured. (I also with plain text passwords in boot.properties file but error did not change)
