82870034

1st Step: Stop your Weblogic Server, if it's running

oracle@server>cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/bin
oracle@server>./stopWebLogic.sh <your_server>

2nd Step: Source the necessary environment variables for your WebLogic Server

oracle@server>cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/bin
oracle@server>./setDomainEnv.sh

3rd Step: Creation of a new WebLogic Server Admin User

oracle@server>cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/security

# the first value after the command "java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount"
# is the new username
# the second value is the password for the new Admin User
# IMPORTANT !!! After the password value you must place a "." (dot) !!!!
# This command will update the DefaultAuthenticatorInit.ldift
# configuration file

oracle@server>java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount myadmin oracle11g .
4th Step: Delete the file DefaultAuthenticatormyrealmInit.initialized

oracle@server>cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap
oracle@server>rm DefaultAuthenticatormyrealmInit.initialized

5th Step: Startup the WebLogic Server

# Depending if you are using a boot.properties file
# you must choose between the two following options
# a) Without boot.properties configuration file

oracle@server>cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/bin
oracle@server> ./startWebLogic.sh <your_domain>

# Here you will be prompted for your WebLogic Server Admin User and his Password
# Use now your newly created Admin User

# b) With a configured boot.properties configuration file
# Remove your boot.properties configuration file

oracle@server>cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/servers/AdminServer/security
oracle@server>rm boot.properties

# Startup your WebLogic Server

oracle@server>cd $MW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/bin
oracle@server> ./startWebLogic.sh

# Here you will be prompted for your WebLogic Server Admin User and his Password
# Use now your newly created Admin User

6th Step: Login to your WebLogic Server Console with your newly created Admin User and change the password of the original WebLogic Server Admin User "weblogic"
# Navigate to "Security Realms"
# There you'll see two Admin Users: weblogic and your newly created Admin User
# Change the password of the user weblogic

7th Step (optionally): If you was using a boot.properties configuration file before, you must recreate it with the new values for the Admin User and the reseted password
