Creating a boot.properties File for User and Password

In order to start the WebLogic Admin Console without prompting for user and password, you need to enter the admin user and password in a boot.properties file. As a result, the start up process uses the user and password from this file instead of prompting for it.

1. If existing, edit the boot.properties file (see directory location below). If this file does not exist, it must be created in this directory:

   <ORACLE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/<your_domain>/servers/<server_name>/security

   Caution: You might need to create the security directory if it does not already exist. Also beware of the file type. The boot.properties file should be a Properties File type, and the filename should not have an extension. If you save the file as "boot.properties.txt", then the startup process will not recognize this file. A correctly formed boot.properties file will have a PROPERTIES type as shown in this example:

2. Edit the boot.properties file to complete these parameters:

   Caution: You must enter these two parameters in lower case.

   • username=weblogic

     The default value for username is weblogic. You should change this value in this file to a valid value for your WebLogic Admin Server.

   • password=default

     You should change this default value in this file to a valid value for your WebLogic Admin Server.

     Caution: The information entered in this file is encrypted after the first access.
