Forgot EBS 12.2 : “Invalid credentials passed” issue while starting Admin Server
Architecture in Oracle EBS R12.2 changed and Oracle introduced WebLogic Server. This was covered by Atul in his previous post on changes in EBS12.2.
WebLogic Server contains Admin Server in a Domain and you use script adadminsrvctl to start Admin Server in Oracle EBS Domain. You need username/password to start/boot Admin Server and this username is usually weblogic and password set during EBS configuration .
What if you forgot password of Weblogic for EBS 12.2 or password you think doesn’t work ?
One of the trainee from our previous batch encountered issue “Invalid credentials passed” while starting EBS Admin server. In this post, I will walk you through the fix for this issue.
Issue:
Trainee was trying to start Admin server using below command:
cd $ADMIN_SCRIPTS_HOME ./adadminsrvctl.sh start
But command was failing with error message “ERROR: Invalid credential Passed” as shown below.
You are running adadminsrvctl.sh version 120.10.12020000.2
Enter the WebLogic Admin password:
Enter the APPS Schema password:
Starting WLS Admin Server…
Invalid credentials passed.
Refer /u01/oracle/PROD/fs1/inst/
adadminsrvctl.sh: exiting with status 1
adadminsrvctl.sh: check the logfile /u01/oracle/PROD/fs1/inst/
In log file error message /u01/oracle/PROD/fs1/inst/
Validated the passed arguments for the option ebs-nmstart-adminsrv
Checking if the Admin Server is already up.
The Admin Server is not already up.

adadminsrvctl.sh: exiting with status 1
Cause:
As the error message suggests, trainee was entering wrong weblogic credentials which was causing this issue. If you can’t remember password
Fix:
To reset the password of weblogic in Oracle E-Business suite, Please refer Sub-section Changing the Oracle WebLogic Server Administration User Password of Section 3: Technical configuration from Oracle document Oracle E-Business Suite R12.2.
If you forgot the password of WebLogic then refer to section “If the Admin Password of an EBS WebLogic Domain is lost or forgotten” in the same document .
