tried changing the boot properties and still not starting
please provide your inputs or suggestions

Open the boot.properties file.

Use your admin user name and password and save it. And then restart the server it should work fine.

The second time, it will be encripted.

This happens if you copy the domain files from another box.

Any idea where i can find this boot.properties? I am using weblogic81

Hi,
You can find the boot.properties in bea/user_projects/domains/your_domain directory.
Thanks & Regards,
Jigs.

This error would occur incase you are having security realm setup on your weblogic server.

Go to Weblogic Admin console
Security Realms>myrealm > Providers >Adjudication> DefaultAdjudicator >Provider Specific
Uncheck Require Unanimous Permit

Restart the server

This is a very old post. But thank you for replying and giving us your solution.

This problem can indeed occur in a variety of situations

Deepak and All,

I also am facing the issue while starting the admin server ( weblogic 9.2MP3) . I am giving clear text password and user name in boot.properties .

The server was running fine for almost 2 months . However i restarted it ( because of power down) and it start showing me the error.

<Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationExc
eption: Authentication denied:

)

I have seen that many of us gets the same error at many time. What could be the possible scenario for this. ? any clue???

I then tried to change the admin user itself ( offline commands) and then admin server started fine . However managed server start up shows me the same error . Then i deleted the managed server directory so that it will get the copy of ldap from admin server. But error remain same.

@Deepak

Do you have any idea about this. How could server sub system failed.
