Hi Ganesh,

it seems that you have a boot.properties file.
This file will be used to read the bootup user and password for WebLogic Server.
It remains in the same directory as the start script of WebLogic.
Please have a look at this document:

Thank you and with best regards

Hi Ganesh,
Can you start the weblogic server without the boot.properties file?

Did either of you find a solution to this problem? I've been told that doing a
clean install of weblogic will work. I've tried to overlay a new installation
of weblogic on an existent copy. This does not work. Any suggestions?

I just recently ran into this issue on a server we just built. We use a
suite of custom security providers to handle our security (don't know if
this matters). The boot file we were useing was valid, and the user was a
proper user in our database. The configuration on this server was identical
to other servers that boot fine. As a last resort, I deleted the ldap
directory and started up the server. We don't use the ldap directory for
anything, so this was a painless option for us. If you use the standard
weblogic security stuff that stores in the ldap server, be carefull deleting
that directory as you will most likely loose your configuration. This fixed
it for us. I don't know why, but something in the embedded ldap server was
causing the failure.
