Re: Boot WLS 9.1 Administrative Console

OK, here is what I had to ultimately do that fix my problem:

How to changed Administrative Users for BEA WLS 9.0:

01. Stop the WLS 9 admin server
02. Stop all the nodemanagers/applications servers (on same or other machs)
03. Run a restore (from tape or whatever) on each mach for the affected domain
to a date before user security got messed up
04. On the nodemanagers/applications servers for the affected domain 
     i. cd <BEA WLS INSTALL DIR>/<DOMAIN DIR>/<APP SERVER
DIR>/data
    ii. rm -rf ldap (it will be recreated by WLS on startup
05. Start Admin Server & each Application Server
06. Log into Admin Console
07. Lock & Edit (may not strictly be needed, not sure)
08. Nav to Security Realms/myrealm/Users & Groups
09. New User add
10. Save
11. Nav to Groups -> add the New User I added to Administrators group
11. Save
12. Nav to Password & set password for New User
13. Save
14. Release Configuration (if Lock & Edit was done)
15. Stop each of the Admin Server & Application Servers
16. For each boot.properties for the Admin Server & Application Servers,
edit them to have username= / password= to reflect to new user / password you
just created (in clear text, the entries will be again encrypted by WLS on
startup)
17. For each Application Server only, again delete the ldap directory (may not
strictly be needed but these will be recreated on start up)
18. Start  the Admin Server & Application Servers.
19. Log into Admin Console to verify.
20. Now delete the old Administrative User
21. Lock & Edit
22. Nav to Security Realms, myrealms, User & Groups.
23. Check the box by the old Administrative User & select Delete.
24. (Save?) can't remember but it would but hightlighted.
25. Release Configuration.
26. Stop the Administrative Servers & each Application Server
27. Start the Application Server & each Application Server
28. Done
