User Password in Managed Server's Embedded LDAP Not Recognized and Reported Invalid While it Is Valid in AdminServer (Doc ID 2523875.1)

Last updated on JULY 26, 2023

Applies to:

Oracle WebLogic Server - Version 12.2.1.2.0 and later
Information in this document applies to any platform.

Symptoms

In a newly created domain, a user can successfully login to AdminServer but not the Managed Server. Since applications are deployed to Managed Server, the same user cannot access them.

User Password in managed server's embedded LDAP is not recognized and it is reported as INVALID. However, the password is reported as VALID by Admin Server's embedded LDAP. After many login tries user gets locked out.

The following is seen in the managed server's log after enabling Embedded LDAP debugging.

Issue can be worked around by setting Master First in the Managed Servers. But this is not sufficient,  because it requires to have AdminServer always running to be able to authenticate users in the Managed Servers.
