How to Reset Weblogic Server Administrator Password

Hi,

Sometimes there is a possibility that you forget Weblogic server administrator password or you are in the environment where nobody knows the password.

In this post i will show the steps how to reset weblogic server administrator password

What you need?

1. Access to the server where weblogic is installed. 
2. Location where weblogic domain is created default is <fmw-home>/user_projects/domains/<domain-home>

Steps to do:

1. Stop the AdminServer including all managed servers.
2. Rename the LDAP folder of AdminServer and other managed servers. Location would be like <WLS_DOMAIN>/servers/<server-name>/data/ldap
3. Run the setDomainEnv.sh or .cmd command to setup the environment i.e. <wls-domain>/bin/
4. Go to security directory in the domain i.e. <domain-home>/security
5. Run the following command (Make sure include DOT at the end)  java weblogic.security.utils.AdminAccount weblogic welcome1 . 
6.  Delete the 'DefaultAuthenticatormyrealmInit.initialized' file from ldap folder in the AdminServer <domain-home>/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap
7. edit the boot.properties file in <domain-name>/servers/<server-name>/security for all managed servers with your new password
8. Start the weblogic server

Setting up WebLogic server for REST Web Services

Hi,

REST web services are getting popular with the time. They are programmer friendly and easy to develop.

By default weblogic server ships with all  required shared libraries for REST but there is one step we need to do in order to activate it which is to deploy those libraries on domain.

The step is simple. All we need to do is to deploy required libraries from
$WLS_HOME/common/deployable-libraries to weblogic domain

In my case i had following libraries used in my application

1. jersey-bundle 1.1.5.1
2. jsr311-api-1.1.1

1. Go to weblogic console http://server:port/console
2. Go to Deployment link (click Lock & Edit if in production mode)
3. Click install and choose libraries as shown in the slide
4. Follow wizard and active.

Reference http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/web.1111/e13734/rest.htm#WSADV572

How to enable System.out.println messages in Weblogic server

Hi,

Using System.out.println is common practice to debug issues in Java applications. However, in ADF applications using ADF logger is common and best practice. But if we have some web services/ java apps deployed on weblogic server mostly it will use System.out.println

By default Weblogic server does not display the standard System.out.println messages. To enable those go to weblogic console http://<server-name>:port/console

Click Domain Name > Environments > Servers  > <Server-name> > Logging  and check the following options under Advanced option

Restart the specific managed server and now the System.out.println messages will be visible on the ServerName.log file which is commonly under domain_directory/servers/<server-name>/logs
