3.4.3 Setting authentication credentials for the servlet container

To modify authentication for the servlet container:

1. Ensure that the WebLogic Administration Server is running on the admin server of the cluster.

2. Open a command prompt and run the following script to set the environment and start the WebLogic scripting tool:

   • (Windows) [appserver root]\common\bin\wlst.cmd

   • (Linux/UNIX) [appserver root]/common/bin/wlst.sh

3. Enter the following commands in WLST to update servlet container authentication:

   connect('[WebLogic username]','[WebLogic password]','[WebLogic URL]') 
   edit() 
   startEdit() 
   cd('SecurityConfiguration') 
   cd('[domain name]') 
   set('EnforceValidBasicAuthCredentials','false') 
   activate() 
   exit()

   Note: The WebLogic URL will be in the format t3://hostname:[port], where the default value for [port] is 7001.

4. Restart WebLogic Administration Server.
