Weblogic(BEA 09042): Authentication denied. Boot properties not valid error

Question

Dear All,
I am getting the following Weblogic error while trying to start the application.
Web logic server is working fine independently and was able to create domains. But when the application was trying to invoke web logic, security encrytion issues are encountered in boot.properties file.
Please provide some ideas or suggestions on how to handle such kind of errors with the log details provided below., Thanks
