System host name is not recognized in weblogic admin console.

Question

I have a windows 2008 r2 server 64bit on which I installed weblogic 10.3.3, IDM 11g and IAM 11g
Computer name XYZ_123
Full computer name XYZ_123.us.oracle.com
I tried to create a new domain with the IDM config file in oracle_home\bin
I am having issue opening the admin console when I use both
http:\\conputername:7001\console
http:\\Fullcomputername:7001\console
Its loading the login page, but when i provide the credentials, it just stays on the same page.
but works fine when i specify
http:\\localhost:7001\console
I have mapped my computer name in the hosts file too.

Answer 1

Hi,
You can achieve your requirement using the following steps
=======
Option-1
=======
1. Start you weblogic server.
2. Open the console using http://localhost:7001/console
3. Go to the path: Servers -> AdminServer -> Configuration [tab] -> General [sub-tab]
4. In "Listen Address:" give your machine name like
Listen Address: conputername
5. Save the changes and restart the server.
=======
Option-2
=======
1. You can also change it directly from the "config.xml" Path: BEA_HOME/user_projects/domains/Domain_7001/config
2. Search for "<name>AdminServer</name>" in "config.xml"
3. In "listen-address" element (which might be empty at this time) give your machine name like (First take a back-up of config.xml)
<server>
<name>AdminServer</name>
<listen-port>7001</listen-port>
<listen-address>conputername</listen-address>
</server>
4. Save the changes and start the server.
Now you can access the console using (http://conputername:7001/console)
NOTE: "conputername" should be given in your etc/hosts file OR your IP address should be mapped with the "conputername" which your machine name.
