Steps to Change Oracle Weblogic Server Node Manager & Administration User Password

The option to set the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration User password to a
non-default value is available during Oracle E-Business Suite installation. This section
describes the procedure to use (on the run file system) if you need to change the
password at a later time.

The EBS WebLogic Domain uses Node Manager to control the Administration Server
and the managed servers. For the EBS WebLogic Domain, the Node Manager and
WebLogic Server Administration User passwords must be same, otherwise the AD
control scripts will not work properly.

Important: 

If you need to change the Administration User password, you must change the Node Manager password first, If you do not do this, the WebLogic Server configuration change will not be detected and the next online patching cycle may fail.

The instructions that follow should be performed on the run file system. The password

change will be automatically propagated to the patch file system during the next adop

prepare phase or fs_clone operation.

1.Shut down all application tier services except the Admin Server.

On the primary node, run the command:

$ <ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME>/adstpall.sh -skipNM -skipAdmin
