Note: From OC4J 10.1.3.0.0 onwards, the jazn.com/admin user has been renamed to jazn.com/oc4jadmin
Additionally, OC4J 10.1.3.0.0 implements the concept of new privileged groups for administrative tasks , that are pre-configured by default , named "oc4j-administrators"
Hence:
* Changing credentials in Application Server Console for remote administration
As described in point 2.3.5.2 Enabling Remote Management by Setting Administrator Credentials of the documentation
Oracle® Application Server Administrator's Guide
10g Release 3 (10.1.3)
Chapter 2 - Introduction to Administration Tools
To enable remote management for other instances in the cluster:
1. Log in to the Application Server Control Console using an administrative user account with ascontrol_admin (super administrator) privileges.
2. Click Setup on any page in Application Server Control Console.
3. Click Administrator Credentials.
4. If you have the proper privileges, Enterprise Manager displays the Administrator Credentials page, which lists OC4J instances in the cluster.
5. Select one or more of the OC4J instances and click Set Administrator Credentials.
6. Enter the user name and password of an Application Server Control account with ascontrol_admin (super administrator) privileges.
7. Click OK to enable remote management of the instance.
After you perform this task, all Application Server Control administrators can manage the remote Oracle Application Server instance, as well as the administrative instance.
* Changing credentials directly to the oc4jadmin user
1. Go to Application Server Control (OEM)
2. Click on the OC4J instance. Please note that the OC4J instance must be up and running
3. Go to Administration tab
4. Expand > Administration Tasks > Security
5. Click on the "Go to Task" icon against Security Providers
6. Click on the Instance Level Security button
7. Click on the Realms tab
8. Click Users link against "jazn.com" Realm
9. Now click oc4jadmin user
10. Use the Change Password fields to update to a new password.
