• Cannot connect to WebLogic server
• Changes do not seem to take affect
• Problems in working with roles, users, or groups
• Incorrect provider name is used when an authentication provider is created
• JAR files on the server are inconvenient to track

Cannot connect to WebLogic server

Check that the Host Name property is a simple hostname or IP address. Do not use a protocol in the property value. For example, omit http:.

Changes do not seem to take affect

After you change security objects, you must restart the WebLogic server for changes to take affect. After the restart, changes can be viewed in the user interface.

Problems in working with roles, users, or groups

Use XML files to specify changes to these objects, rather than JMX files. Some errors can be caused by trying to create an object that already exists. For example, if you attempt to create a role that already exists, the step fails.

Incorrect provider name is used when an authentication provider is created

If the created authentication provider has a name that matches the provider type rather than the name you specified, an incorrect step might have been used. Use the Create or Update Authentication Provider step. Do not use the Update Authentication Provider step when you create an authentication provider.

JAR files on the server are inconvenient to track

You can set up and use a wlfullclient.jar file. See the instructions in the Oracle documentation.
