Weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user

Question

Folks,
I've newly installed Weblogic server on my home laptop.
I can't startup the weblogic server.
Errors are
Now, I know the location of the boot.properties file the server accesses, because if I delete and restart the server it asks for userid/password.
If that file does not exists it gives the following error
weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid; The user name and/or password from the boot identity file (boot.properties) is not valid. The boot identity may have been changed since the boot identity file was created. Please edit and update the boot identity file with the proper values of username and password. The first time the updated boot identity file is used to start the server, these new values are encrypted.
So, I thought the best way is to RECOVER the password and tried following the steps
1. At the command line, change directory to the domain and run the setEnv script to set the PATH and CLASSPATH.
2. cd <domain_home>/security
3. mv DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift_BKP
4. run java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount <tempadmin> <temppassword> ./
-above command will Create a new DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift
4. cd <domain_home>/servers/<AdminServer>/data/ldap
5. mv DefaultAuthenticatormyrealmInit.initialized DefaultAuthenticatormyrealmInit.initialized_BKP
6. Restart the Admin Server.
7. Login with new username/password
The question is how do I run Step 4) above? Like what is the Java home, or jar file that has the weblogic.security.utils.AdminsAccount class?
Thanks
Ravi

Answer 1

The class "weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount" is part of weblogic.jar
And JAVA_HOME would be the java installation directory, for example "D:\Middleware\wls1036\jdk160_29\bin"
So, for example, the same command can be read as
D:\Middleware\wls1036\jdk160_29\bin\java -cp D:\Middleware\wls1036\wlserver_10.3\server\lib\weblogic.jar weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount <tempadmin> <temppassword> .
OR
Another option for you is to just run setDomainEnv to set the JAVA_HOME and CLASSPATH variables for us.
For windows open a command prompt and run,
<domain_home>/bin/setDomainEnv.cmd
For linux run,
. <domain_home>/bin/setDomainEnv.sh {Remember the dot and space, ". ", at the beginning are very important for a open shell with the environment variables set}
After running the above command, then cd <domain_home>/security (step 2)
Now, after doing the above, you can directly run the command in step 4
java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount <tempadmin> <temppassword> ./
