Hello Everyone,
After a long time posting something which is very easy to implement and important as part
of administrators work.
If you forget the AdminServer password for your WebLogic 11g domain, you
may have multiple options to recover the same. here we are going to discuss
about resetting it from the command line using the following process.
We will check this process step by step :
Step 1:
Set up the following environment
variables. They are not necessary for the process itself, but will help you
navigate.In this case my domain is called "12C_Domain". Remember to
change the value to match your domain.
export MW_HOME=/Oracle/Middleware
export DOMAIN_HOME=$MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/12C_Domain
Step 2:
Shutdown all domains including managed server, Admin server and Node
Manager.
./stopWeblogic.sh or kill -9 <process_id>
Step 3:
Rename data folder from below path i.e. in my case $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer
mv $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/data
$DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/data_bkp
Step 4 :
set environment variable for domain as follows
./setDomainEnv.sh
Step 5:
Reset the password using the following command. Remember to substitute the
appropriate username and password.
change directory to security folder :
cd $DOMAIN_HOME/security
run below command to change admin password :
java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount weblogic admin123 .
Note : weblogic is user name and admin123 is new password which we need to set.
Step 6:
If you specify password in boot.properties then you have to change it in
below files :
Update the
"$DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties" file with
the new username and password. The file format is shown below.
username=weblogic
password=admin123
Step 7:
Now start admin server as follows with new credantials .
./startWeblogic.sh
I know this is very easy steps but many of the time we unable to recollect
easy steps to handle such issues or operations.
