If you are maintaining Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10g AS R3) or Oracle Apps R12 (which uses 10g AS R3 as tech. stack) and you wish to reset OC4JADMIN password here are few pointers
1. oc4jadmin is superuser account created during installation (Installer prompts for oc4jadmin password if this is 10g AS R3)
2. This password is stored in encrypted format in file system-jazn-data.xml $ORACLE_HOME/j2ee/home/config (In R12 there are two ORACLE_HOME in middle tier one for Web Server and another for Forms (third one is on database tier))
3. You can reset this password using enterprise console http:// machine : http_port/em , follow exact steps from here
4. If you can’t remember original OC4JADMIN password you can reset it by using documentation here
5. If your 10g AS R3 or R12 is configured to use Oracle Identity Management (OID) then you have to update OC4JADMIN password using /oiddas screen (in OID).

Can we do the same process for 10.1.2.0.2AS also and what are the differences between 10.1.2.0.2AS and 10.1.3.1.0AS

Hi Raman,
I don’t think there was any oc4jadmin account in 10.1.2 OAS.
I’ll try to cover difference between 10.1.2 OAS & 10.1.3 OAS.
Major difference
- 10.1.2 uses JDK 1.4 where as 10.1.3 JDK1.5
- 10.1.2 has portal, BI with infrastructure tier like OID/SSO where as 10.1.3 is J2EE only release with no webcache & Infra tier is moved to new product called as Oracle Identity Management
Hello Atul,
Thank you very much for your fast reply. After sending the post i realized that 10.1.2 OAS is having ias_admin user and today i have changed “orcladmin” password of Contentdb by following the below procedure.
Login to Content DB database as sysdba and run the following procedure.
SQL> execute orasso.WWSSO_OID_INTEGRATION.reset_passwd(’ORCLADMIN’,null,’ramam123′);
If you add this to your posts this may help to your readers.
Thank you
Ramam
