Fix for Admin Console UN/PW problem!!

Question

Hi all,
The following will allow you to log on to the AdminConsole after setup in Win2000.
First, open config.xml for your in your \bea\weblogic600\config\yourdomain directory in an editor. I used XMLWriter, but I'm sure Notepad would work.
Next, find the following:
<Security Name="mydomain" GuestDisabled="false"/>
Add a SystemUser attribute to the line so that it looks like this:
<Security Name="mydomain" GuestDisabled="false" SystemUser="system"/>
where "system" is the UserName you want to log into the AdminConsole with.
Now, fire up the Admin Console and login with this username. The password will be the password you entered during setup. To locate this password, open password.ini from the same directory where you found the XML file. Open password.ini in Notepad to see your password. If it's empty, no password is required.
Good luck
Bill

Can you check if your admin-server's server.xml (admin-server/config/server.xml) has the following settings?
<default-auth-db-name>ldap</default-auth-db-name>
<auth-db>
    <name>ldap</name>
    <url>ldap://<hostname>:<port>/<base-dn></url>
    <property>
      <name>bindpw</name>
      <value><passwd></value>
      <encoded>true</encoded>
    </property>
    <property>
      <name>binddn</name>
      <value><binddn-value></value>
    </property>
  </auth-db>Can you also verify if the file under admin-server/config/default-sun-web.xml has the following settings?
# cat default-sun-web.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
