- We may have a security requirement to change the WebLogic password at regular intervals of time. The below article explains the steps to perform the Change Oracle WebLogic Server Administration User Password in R12.2 when the WebLogic password is known
- The EBS WebLogic Domain uses Node Manager to control the Administration Server and the managed servers. For the EBS WebLogic Domain, the Node Manager and Oracle WebLogic Server Administration User password must be the same, otherwise, the AD control scripts will not work properly.
- Important: If you need to change the Administration User password, you must change the Node Manager password first. If you do not do this, the WebLogic Server configuration change will not be detected and the next online patching cycle may fail.
- The instructions that follow should be performed on the run file system. The password change will be automatically propagated to the patch file system during the next adop prepare phase or fs_clone operation.
