Wlst connecting to admin server

Question

I am confused that we can connect to the admin servers using wlst without password?
Is that true and under what circumstances we will be able to connect to the servers?

Hi Eden,
Yes, You are 50% Right.

BUT Only in one case we can connect to WebLogic Using WLST without Passing the Username and Password....If and only if the Default username is "weblogic" and password is "weblogic" for your Domain.....Even u need no to enter the AdminServer URL wile connecting to the AdminServer via WLST if your AdminServer is running at "localhost:7001"

Example:
C:\>java weblogic.WLST
Initializing WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) ...
Welcome to WebLogic Server Administration Scripting Shell
Type help() for help on available commands
wls:/offline> connect()
Please enter your username [weblogic] : --------- I didnot enter anything here Just Pressed ENTER Key
Please enter your password [weblogic] : --------- I didnot enter anything here Just Pressed ENTER Key
Please enter your server URL [t3://localhost:7001] : --------- I didnot enter anything here Just Pressed ENTER Key
Connecting to t3://localhost:7001 with userid weblogic ...
Successfully connected to Admin Server 'AdminServer' that belongs to domain '7001_Domain'.
Warning: An insecure protocol was used to connect to the
server. To ensure on-the-wire security, the SSL port or
Admin port should be used instead.
wls:/7001_Domain/serverConfig>

NOTE:
If you Don't want to put the ClearText Username and Passwords inside your WLST Script Due to some Security reasons...Then u can make use of *"userConfig"* Feature of WLST like described here: http://weblogic-wonders.com/weblogic/2009/11/30/steps-to-use-userconfig-file-and-userkey-file/
