How to Change/Update Password for AIA 11.1.1.4

If you are reading this, then you probably have gone through our previous POST.


When we change or update the weblogic Administrator Password, we need to update the AIA password as well because AIA installation is done on SOA which uses weblogic Password to Connect to SOA Server.

In the Oracle Guide they have mentioned two approaches to change the password.

First one did not work for me.

Let me discuss what actually worked.

Please follow the below steps exactly to successfully change or update the password for AIA:

1. First, make sure that you have XManager installed if you have a remote server as we will be needing GUI.
2. Go to the following location:
   AIA_HOME/util/UpdateStore
3. Run the below command:
   ant -f $AIA_HOME/util/updateStore.xml updateStore -DAdminUsername=weblogic -DAminPassword=<the 'weblogic' user's password>
   Here  DAdminUsername is the weblogic Admin username(old username)
   and  DAminPassword is the weblogic Admin password(old password)
4. A GUI window will pop up, there please enter the user id and password and then the XPATH for the password from the AIAInstallProperties.xml (i.e. /properties/fp/server/password)
   When the process is complete you should see the encrypted password in the AIAInstallProperties.xml file:
   <username>weblogic</username>
   <password>[C@29c58e</password>
5. Repeat step 3 till all the weblogic password's are encrypted in the AIAInstallProperties.xml file.

Please let us know if you face any issues while updating the AIA password.
