Changing the System Password
Administration Guide 14-3
5. Protect the network connection between clients and WebLogic Server by
implementing the SSL protocol. When SSL is implemented, WebLogic Server
uses its digital certificate, issued by a trusted certificate authority, to authenticate
clients. This step is optional but BEA recommends it. See “Configuring the SSL
Protocol.”
6. Further protect your WebLogic Server deployment by implementing mutual
authentication. When mutual authentication is implemented, WebLogic Server
must authenticate itself to the client and then the client in turn, must authenticate
itself to WebLogic Server. Again, this step is an optional but BEA recommends
it. See “Configuring Mutual Authentication.”
For a complete description of WebLogic Server security features, see Introduction to
WebLogic Security and Security Fundamentals.
Note: All configuration steps in this topic are based on the use of the Administration
Console.
For information about assigning security roles to WebLogic EJBs, see WebLogic
Server 6.1 Deployment Properties.
For information about security in WebLogic web applications, see Assembling and
Configuring Web Applications.
Changing the System Password
During installation you specify a password for the system User. The specified
password is associated with the
system User in WebLogic Server and is stored in the
fileRealm.properties
file in the \wlserver6.1\config\domain directory
where
domain is the name specified as the WebLogic Administration domain name
during installation. The specified password corresponds to the Administration Server
for the domain and all the Managed Servers associated with that Administration
Server.
Note: The
system User is the only user account under which WebLogic Server can
be started.
