Goal

This note will provide steps to create/modify the local "sysadmin" user, to configure the JDBC connection and to run stand alone Administration Applications (applets) via Command Line (or Terminal) from the /bin directory (i.e. SystemProperties, ConfigurationManager, BatchLoader). 

Important to Understand about Users: 

WCC Server 11g and 12c use external users that come from WebLogic Server's (WLS) internal user store to manage user names and passwords; LDAP server or other user store that's integrated with WLS.  Most user management tasks must be performed in WLS Administration Console not WCC User Admin applet.  Although a WCC administrator can use the User Admin applet to create local users and assign passwords/roles for local users to be authenticated for access to WCC they must also be created/assigned passwords/roles using WLS.  A user created solely in WCC (User Admin) is not recognized by WLS.

By default the "sysadmin" user is used to run the stand-alone administration applets.  The default "sysadmin" password is a random encoded string which must be modified via User Admin Applet.

• The standalone java applications (WCC applets) are not aware of WLS. 
• The database connection for standalone applets is managed via System Properties not WLS.

Sample of Errors if Configuration is Not Correct (not all inclusive):

Starting the applications in the WCC server's /bin directory may result in:
