PFRD 11.1.1.4 - How to stop the In-process Reports Server

Question

I'm running an "out-of-the-box" PFRD 11.1.1.4 installation in Windows XP SP3.
According with documentation:
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_strt006.htm#BEHDJFHD
To directly start or stop the in-process Reports Server using a URL, enter the following in your Web browser:
http://machine_name:port/reports/rwservlet/startserver
http://machine_name:port/reports/rwservlet/stopserver
startserver works.
stopserver returns:
REP-50171 : Authentication failed.
Tried
http://machine_name:port/reports/rwservlet/stopserver?authid=weblogic/passwd
same error.
Commented the line:
<!--security class="oracle.reports.server.RWJAZNSecurity" id="rwJaznSec"/-->
in rwserver.conf.
Same error.
The only uncomented elements in "rwservlet.properties" (original configuration) are
<server>rep_wls_reports_pfurtado-lap_asinst_1</server>
<singlesignon>no</singlesignon>
<inprocess>yes</inprocess>
Did any of you managed to stop "in-process" reports server using the reports servlet?
What credentials did you use?
Thanks & Best Regards
Paulo

Thanks RZ!
The line you mentioned was already as you described.
According with the documentation:
[Starting and Stopping Reports Server|http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/bi.1111/b32121/pbr_strt001.htm#i1005629]
If Reports Server is running as an in-process server through the Reports Servlet, issue the following URL:
http://your_host_name:port_number/reports/rwservlet/stopserver?authid=admin user/admin password
Note:
authid is Reports Server's administration user name and password. In Oracle Reports 11g Release 1 (11.1.1), the default security is based on standards-based Java EE security model through Oracle Platform Security Services. For a non-secure Reports Server, this user is defined in the identifier element.
I added the identifier element to rwserver.conf and restarted WLS_REPORTS, but after this the in-process reports server failed to start with the usual generic exception.
I finally found the missing step in:
How To Secure Showjobs Web Command In A Non Secured Reports Server In Oracle Report 11g? (Doc ID 1242614.1)
The thing is that the identifier element has to be placed in the right location inside rwserver.conf:
The needed change is:
FROM
<queue maxQueueSize="1000"/>
<pluginParam name="mailServer" value="%MAILSERVER_NAME%"/>
TO
<queue maxQueueSize="1000"/>
<identifier encrypted="no">....type here your user/password....</identifier>
<pluginParam name="mailServer" value="%MAILSERVER_NAME%"/>
So although using the default non-secure reports server, the identifier element has to be present in rwserver.conf for rwservlet/stopserver to work as described above.
Otherwise the needed authentication will fail as described.
