Last updated on MARCH 20, 2024

Applies to:

Oracle WebLogic Server - Version 10.3.4 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Goal

When upgrading from older versions of WebLogic Server that used old security algorithms, it can be observed that encryption hashes are passed through without any change. In this case, in order to enhance security, it may be recommended to recreate related files to impose newest security algorithm available.
