Starting the WebLogic Administration Server
Administration Guide 2-7
machine) or start Managed Servers remotely using the Node Manager, you need
to set the listen address of the Administration Server. To set the listen address,
include the following argument:
-Dweblogic.ListenAddress=host
where host is the DNS name or IP address of the Administration Server.
n Provide user password.
The default user is
system and the required password is the password specified
during installation. To enter the password, include the following argument:
-Dweblogic.management.password=password
n Specify the WebLogic Server root directory if you do not want to use the current
directory (that is, the directory from which you invoke the
weblogic.Server
command) as the server root directory. To specify a root directory, include the
following argument:
-Dweblogic.RootDirectory=path
where path specifes the directory above the config\server-root directory.
For example, if a server’s root directory is
c:\myproject\config\Mydomain,
then specify
-Dweblogic.RootDirectory=c:\myproject. For more
information, refer to “A Server’s Root Directory” on page 2-11.
n Specify the location of the bea.home directory:
-Dbea.home=root_install_dir
where root_install_dir is the root directory under which you installed the
BEA WebLogic Server software.
n If you want to start the server with Secure Socket Layer (SSL) protocol, you
need to pass the server the private key password at startup so that the server can
decrypt the SSL private key file. To pass the SSL private key password to the
server on startup, include the following argument on the command line:
-Dweblogic.management.pkpassword=pkpassword
where pkpassword is the SLL private key password.
Note: When storing the password to the
pkpassword.ini file, WebLogic Server
encrypts the value using the encryption service associated with the domain.
This means that you can use the password file only with the domain in
which it was created.
