Hi,

Its Weblogic server

We started seeing the same issue with Weblogic Portal 10.3.6 domains created on developer machines - the issue started occurring on Friday last week 6/5/15 (not sure if this date is significant?). Issue started occurring on multiple developer machines. The only workaround we've found so far is to reinstall WLP. Even creating a new domain on the existing install does not fix the issue.

Did something break that is date/time sensitive regarding encryption of this boot.properties file?

Remove the boot.properties file and start the weblogic server using the command line startWebLogic.sh. You will be prompted for the username and password. Enter the username and password that you think is correct and see if weblogic server starts.

If it starts, then shutdown the WebLogic Server and then create the boot.properties file with the username and password and then start the server again and see what happens.

Thanks

Amit
