Not able to start SOA managed server first time with node manager by WLST

Question

Hi all,
I have created a SOA11g domain. Then using WLST utility I have started the Node Manager.
Then from WLST prompt I have connected to the Node Manager & started the Admin Server successfully.
But when ever I am starting the SOA manager server using WLST it's throwing the following error in WLST page : -
Error Starting server soa_server1: weblogic.nodemanager.NMException: Exception while starting server 'soa_server1'
In server log file I am getting the following error : -
Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user denied
weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user denied
I am getting this problem only when I am trying to start the domain for the first time after domain creation using WLST/nodemanager.
If I start & stop the SOA managed server from EM console & then try to start it aging from WLST/NodeManager then it's work fine.
Can anyone please tell me what can be the issue?
Thanks in Advance!!!

Hi,
I am getting this problem only when I am trying to start the domain for the first time after domain creation using WLST/nodemanager.
If I start & stop the SOA managed server from EM console & then try to start it aging from WLST/NodeManager then it's work fine.When you a server for the first time by using console or startManagedWeblogic.cmd, a file boot.properties is created under %DOMAIN_HOME%\servers\soa_server2\data\nodemanager...
The WLST/Nodemanager approach doesn't create the file so it won't work for the first start... But it will work just fine from the second on...
I've never tried, but you can try and create the boot.properties manually in your script with the following content... Password should be encrypted after the first successful start...
username=type-the-username-here
password=type-the-password-here
Cheers,
