Weblogic Boot up Authentication

Some trivial facts which can also be found under the weblogic documentation.

While trying to delete a few temp file from the weblogic domain. I had accidentally deleted the security directory as well.


When the server starts up it needs the authentication credentials either provided via a boot.properties file present in the server\security directory or else via the server prompt.

Storing the credentials in a file doesnt compromise security as this is then encrypted by the server as soon as it reads it for the first time.

Hence in order to avoid entering the weblogic username and password each time you want the server hosting your application to start , just store the credentials in a file called boot.properties.

the contents might look like this:

username=weblogic
password=weblogic
