Changing DefaultServer's Password running in JDeveloper

After you have changed the default password "weblogic1" through the WebLogic Console, you hamve to restart the server running in JDev again to use this new password.

Before restarting the default server in JDev, you will have to follow the below two actions to make it run it properly again.

1. Change the password in boot.properties

Locate C:\Users\\AppData\Roaming\JDeveloper\system11.1.1.5.37.60.13\DefaultDomain\servers\DefaultServer\security folder, open and edit the password in boot.properties. You can use the inencrpyted text for both user name and password.

For example: changing the password to welcome1

#Mon Jul 18 16:00:02 CST 2011

password=welcome1

username=weblogic

Save the file and close it.

2. Open JDev, in the right side of it, expand Resource Palette -> IDE Connections -> Application Server, and then right-click IntegratedWebLogicServer, and choose Properties.

A new window pops up, switch to Authentication tab, and update the password there.

After all is done, restart the Default Server. It should be started up properly.
