OC4J AuthenticationException: Not authorized

Question

When using the default oc4jadmin username and password with OAS 10.1.3, my RMI connections work properly. However, I tried to create another user similar to that user, but when my code connects, I get the following error in the opmn log.
11/03/21 07:25:00 javax.naming.NamingException: Lookup error: javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Not authorized; nested exception is:
     javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Not authorized [Root exception is javax.naming.AuthenticationException: Not authorized]
I have made that new user a member of the OC4J Administrators group, just like oc4jadmin user. Why can't I connect with a similar user? What am I missing?
Thanks,
Kris

This pertains to trying to use an alternate user other than the default user "oc4jadmin" for RMI. If you want to use a different user, you must login to the EM tool, then click on the application container link that you want to update. Then go to the Administration tab and click on the "Go to task" link for Security Providers, then click on the Instance Level Security button and then on the Realms tab. In the Users column, the link will most likely say "3", and if you click on the link you'll see a list of users including oc4jadmin. Click the Create button to create your new user and then add them to the oc4j-administrators role.
