Symptoms

 When attempting to start the OAM managed server the startup fails with the following messages in the system output for the managed server:

The boot identity may have been changed since the boot identity file was created. Please edit and update the boot identity file with the proper values of username and password. The first time the updated boot identity file is used to start the server, these new values are encrypted.

 If the boot.properties file is removed, the startup still fails if username/password are provided interactively.  The AdminServer starts successfully with the same username and password.  Attempts to connect via WLST to the AdminServer fail:

Please enter your password :
