Changing Weblogic Password in OBIEE

Changing Weblogic Password in OBIEE

1. Go to the WebLogic Administration Console (http://hostname:7001/console).

2. Navigate Security Realm > Users and Groups > weblogic > passwords

3. Change the password for weblogic and save.

4. Navigate bifoundation_domain > Security > EmbeddedLDAP

Press "Lock & Edit."
Check the option "Refresh Replica At Startup" and save.
Press "Activate Changes."

This option "Refresh Replica At Startup" described as "Specifies whether the embedded LDAP server in a Managed Server should refresh all replicated data at boot time. This setting is useful if you have made many changes when the Managed Server was not active, and you want to download the entire replica instead of having the Administration Server push each change to the Managed Server." in the documentation.

5. Stop Admin Server.

6. Delete boot.properties from the following directories.
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/security
<MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/security

7. Create a new boot.properties file and placed under the above directories:
username=weblogic
password=mypassword
(Note: Please, replace "mypassword" with the actual password that you want to set.)
For further information on boot.properties, please check the Note 1265834.1 How To Start WebLogic Admin And OBIEE 11g Managed Servers Without Prompting Administrator Username And Password On Unix Environments.
Once the Admin Server or bi_server1 is started for the first time, credentials in the boot.properties file are automatically encrypted.

8. Start Admin Server. Admin Server has been started with a new password for weblogic.

9. Start bi_server1.

10. Start opmn components.
