BEA-090402 Authentication denied: Boot identity not valid

Error:

. The boot identity may have been changed since the boot identity file was created. Please edit and update the boot identity file with the proper values of username and password. The first time the updated boot identity file is used to start the server, these new values are encrypted.>

Solution:

Step 1: Bring down node-manager

Step 2: Delete ldap folder

Delete the whole ldap folder from following location

[oracle@saidrasel]$ find /u01 -name ldap
/u01/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/servers/WLS_FORMS/data/ldap
/u01/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/servers/AdminServer/data/ldap
/u01/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/servers/WLS_REPORTS/data/ldap
[oracle@saidrasel]$

Step 3: Delete boot.properties from following location

cd /u01/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/servers/WLS_REPORTS/security
Delete the boot.properties
cd /u01/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/servers/WLS_FORMS/security
Delete the boot.properties
cd /u01/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain/servers/AdminServer/security
Delete the boot.properties

Step 4: Create boot.properties

u01/oracle/middleware/user_projects/domains/ClassicDomain1/servers

create a boot.properties file using the following entry

username= weblogic
password=weblogic123

copy this boot.properties file for WLS_FORMS, WLS_REPORTS and WebLogic

After start the server from command line, it will encrypt again automatically.

Step 5 : Start the node-manager

$ nohup $WLS_HOME/server/bin/startNodeManager.sh > /dev/null 2>&1 &

Start the managed server and it should start successfully.
