SOA Cluster Deployment of Composite through FMW Control - 401 Error

Question

When I am deploying to SOA from Fusion Middleware Control with the "weblogic" domain account, I get a 401 error in the AdminServer.out. It cannot deploy the composite to the SOA Cluster. This user is in the Administrator's group, so it should have complete access to the domain.
Anyone seen this before or have any ideas how to debug?

Hi Josh
I hope you have a SOA Domain created that has AdminServer and atleast one soa_server1 managed server. Ofcourse you can have Developers SOA Domain that has only AdminServer with SOA modules also deployed. So first make sure you have SOA Domain. Assuming you have SOA Domain, generally it is recommended to deploy/undeploy any SOA Composite JAR from the Enterprise Manager console (not from core weblogic admin console like http://host:port/console). The Enterprise Manager facet has to be checked when you create SOA Domain. Then you can access it like http://host:port/em. Then on left side, select your soa_server1 and right click mouse and deployments and deploy your soa sca jar file. This takes care of backend soa_infra and other db tables properly updated with all the info from your sca jar file.
So try from Enterprise manager.
Infact if you have JDeveloper, just configure your soa domain there. And you can deploy directly from JDeveloper itself on this SOA Domain.
