Storing the Username and Password in a Boot Identity File

For security reasons, you may choose not to store login credentials in the Windows registry. Login credentials may be removed from the Windows registry by following the procedure below:

  1. Edit the installService.cmd file and remove the credentials.

  2. Place the following lines in a text file:

     username=<username> password=<password> 

    where username is the name of a user who is a member of a role that is allowed to start a server.

  3. Save the file. The default location is:

     <domain>\boot.properties 

    If you choose, you may save the file in some other location. If so, you must tell the server where it is with the following JAVA_OPTIONS directive:

     -Dweblogic.system.BootIdentityFile=filename 
  4. Run the installService.cmd script. On the first invocation, the server will read its values from the file, encrypt them, and store them. In all subsequent invocations the server will read the encrypted values.
