Install, Configure, and Run - Oracle WebLogic Server 12c Advanced Administration - page 12

3. The server will initiate the startup process and ask for the WebLogic Administrator
username and password:
Enter username to boot WebLogic server: wlsadmin
Enter password to boot WebLogic server:
4. Type wlsadmin as the username and the <password> value you previously
specified during domain creation.
5. WebLogic Administration Server will start.
How it works...
The Administration Server is now running and waiting for connections in the host and port that
are specified during domain creation at http://prod01.domain.local:7001/console .
<Started the WebLogic Server Administration Server "PROD_AdminServer" for
domain "PROD_DOMAIN" running in production mode.>
There's more...
The system administrator should also create a boot.properties file to avoid entering the
boot username and password in every WebLogic Server startup.
Creating the boot.properties file
Specify a boot.properties file so the Administration Server doesn't ask for the username
and password at startup.
1. Go to the Administration Server root folder:
[wls@prod01]$ cd $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/PROD_AdminServer
2. Create and enter a new directory:
[wls@prod01]$ mkdir security
[wls@prod01]$ cd security
3. Create a new file called boot.properties with wlsadmin as the username and
the <password> value you specified:
[wls@prod01]$ echo -ne "username=wlsadmin\npassword=<password>" >
boot.properties
[wls@prod01]$ cat boot.properties
username=wlsadmin
password=<password>
