Description and Workaround or Solution
|
|
|
| |
When importing security data that was exported using releases of WebLogic Server prior to 9.2, BEA recommends:
- If the default formats for providers in the exporting and importing security realm are exactly the same, there should be no problems
- If the default formats for the providers in the exporting and importing security realms are different, the original security realm should be upgraded to WebLogic Server 9.2, the security data should be exported, and then imported into the 9.2 security realm.
If the older domain can not be upgraded, the original domain should be booted and instead of using the Export feature in the realm, use the Migration > Export tab for each provider and export the security data into a file. To import the security data into a provider in a new security realm, use the Migration > Import tab for each provider.

|
Information about cached JDBC statements is not displayed on the JDBC Monitoring pages.
|
|
|
|
|
The Start, Shutdown, ForceShutown, and Restart operations for JDBC connection pools were missing from the Administration Console.
These operations have been added to the Administration Console.
|
|
|
|
|
The Administration Console uses the JMX management interfaces to interact with WebLogic Server. WebLogic Server supports several MBean servers that provide access to management features from different perspectives. Although these MBean servers may be disabled in the WebLogic Server configuration files, the Administration Console requires these MBean servers during operation and will not run successfully without them.
|
|
|
|
|
The Administration Console still shows the default table size even after the preferred table size is set to something other than the default size.
|
|
|
|
|
After a page flow completes in the Administration Console, it forwards to a different page, typically a table.
Pressing the browser back button at this point results in an attempt to load the last JSP file in the completed assistant. At this point, all of the context for this assistant is discarded.
BEA recommends that you do not use the browser back button to step back into an assistant once changes are cancelled or finished, and that you do not go back to a previous step in an assistant. Instead, use the navigation links and buttons in the Administration Console.
|
|
|
|
|
You can use the Administration Console to shut down the Administration Server, but as the Administration Console attempts to refresh itself, it often encounters a problem displaying the page because the Administration Server is no longer available to service requests. This failure manifests itself in different ways, depending on the timing, machine load, and other deployments.
|
|
|
|
|
No more than 50 users or groups from an external LDAP server or database can be displayed in the Administration Console.
|
|
|
|
|
Deployment to one target server in a cluster deployed an application to all servers in the cluster. The Javascript that selected the appropriate user selection computed the incorrect HTML element representing the cluster.
This problem has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
The Dump Thread Stacks feature in the Administration Console (Server page --> Monitoring --> Performance --> Lock&Edit --> Dump Thread Stacks) only works if the server is running on JRockit.
This problem has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
Applications deployed on a cluster did not appear in the list of deployments for each server in the Deployments tab.
This problem has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
Message-Driven Beans (MDB) may specify adapter-jndi-name in the deployment descriptor to indicate that the MDB is receiving messages from a resource adapter rather than from JMS. Such a binding entails configuring an ActivationSpec object that is passed to the resource adapter during deployment.
The Administration Console does not provide a way to view or configure the Resource Adapter that an MDB is bound to.
The Administration Console does not currently provide a way to view or configure the ActivationSpec properties on the MDB.
This problem is resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
On the Cluster -> Configuration -> Migration page, you must select the Candidate Machines that you want to use for Migratable Servers at the same time that you specify a cluster-wide data source in the Data Source for Automatic Migration field.
|
|
|
|
|
The Administration Console sends log messages to the Administration Server log, but you cannot use the Console to filter the messages or use the log configuration pages to reconfigure Console logging.
Use -Dlog4j.configuration=path-to-config.
|
|
|
|
|
When a role or policy condition is created or modified in the Administration Console, you must click the Save button before leaving the role/policy editor page. Otherwise, all the changes made during the creation or modification of the condition(s) that are displayed get lost when you return to the same page.
No warning pop-up or message appears to tell you that leaving the page without clicking Save negates your changes.
|
|
|
|
|
Specifying Jakarta Commons Logging in the system classpath prevents the Administration Console from initializing.
The problem occurred when a user specified a class in the system classpath that was already used by the Administration Console. The classloader could load versions of the classes that were potentially incompatible. Specifically, the version of Struts used internally by the Administration Console was certified with a particular version of Log4j and Commons logging. However, when a newer version of Commons logging was specified in the classpath, the Administration Console failed to initialize because Struts failed to initialize classes needed by the Administration Console.
The resolution was to use a Filtering classloader. A Filtering classloader allows applications to be configured to use the application classloader over the system classpath for configured Java packages. These packages are:
-
org.apache.log4.*
-
org.apache.commons.*
-
org.apache.beehive.*
-
org.apache.struts.*
-
org.apache.oro.*
-
org.apache.taglibs.*

|
After you enable the administration port from the Administration Console and click the Activate button, the Administration Console is not reachable until the URL used to communicate with the Administration Console is changed to HTTPS and the administration port number.
Because the administration port setting is dynamic, the Administration Console should redirect after activating any changes regarding the use of the administration port.
This problem has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
If you uploaded a non-ascii name application in the Administration Console, the file name appeared garbled.
This problem has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
After you specify the location for the new plan for a resource adapter, the Administration Console takes you back to the "Settings for <adapter name>" screen where it says that no Deployment Plan is selected.
You must have separate directories for the application and the plan instead of placing both files in the same directory.
|
|
|
|
|
The Deployment Plan tab in the Administration Console was missing for stand-alone module deployments. Therefore, the user could not make changes to the deployment plan or the descriptors of the standalone resource adapter.
This problem has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
The Jolt Connection Pool monitoring pages in the Administration Console cannot access the Jolt Runtime MBeans, and therefore Jolt connection pools cannot be monitored or reset using the Administration Console.
Use WebLogic Scripting Tool (WLST) to access the Jolt Runtime MBean.
|
|
|
|
|
The following attributes are missing from the Domain > Configuration > JTA page under Advanced:
-
MaxXACallMillis
weblogic.management.configuration.JTAMBean
Sets the maximum allowed duration (in milliseconds) of XA calls to XA resources. This setting applies to the entire domain.
Default: 120000
-
MaxResourceUnavailableMillis
weblogic.management.configuration.JTAMBean
The maximum duration (in milliseconds) that an XA resource is marked as unhealthy. After this duration, the XA resource is declared available again, even if the resource is not explicitly re-registered with the transaction manager. This setting applies to the entire domain.
Default: 1800000
-
MaxResourceRequestOnServer
weblogic.management.configuration.JTAMBean
Maximum number of concurrent requests to resources allowed for each server in the domain.
Default: 50
Minimum: 10
Maximum: java.lang.Integer.MAX_VALUE
|
|

|
|
The chooser control is used in several pages in the Administration Console and presents a list of available items, chosen items, and controls to move items from one list to the other. This control does not support moving more than one item at a time using a CTRL+mouse click interaction.
Select and move one item at a time.
|
|
|
|
|
If you register custom MBeans in a WebLogic Server MBean server, you can use roles and policies along with the WebLogic Security Service to protect your MBeans. Note the following restrictions:
- Your MBean's object name must include a
"Type=value" key property.
- You must describe your roles and policies in an XACML 2.0 document and then use the WebLogic Scripting Tool to add the data to your realm.
- If your XACML document describes authorization policies, your security realm must use either the WebLogic Server XACML Authorization Provider or another provider that implements the
weblogic.management.security.authorization. PolicyStoreMBean interface.
- If your XACML document describes role assignments, your security realm must use either the WebLogic Server XACML Role Mapping Provider or another provider that implements the
weblogic.management.security.authorization. PolicyStoreMBean interface.

|
If an installed JDBC module has a password-encrypted field encrypted with the wrong key, an exception occurs in the Administration Console.
This exception can occur when you copy a JDBC module from one domain to another.
To re-set the password correctly, use java weblogic.security.Encrypt <password> in the domain home directory and modify the module file to change the password value.
|
|
|
|
|
When you use the Summary of Asynchronous Tasks function in the Administration Console, invoking Cancel on a running task results in a UIControlException.
|
|
|
|
|
If the Administration Console has been modified through a Console extension, images and CSS pages get cached by the browser. You may notice the caching when you use the MedRec Administration Console.
Close all the browser windows and then re-open the browser.
|
|
|
|
|
When you create a security provider (any provider such as PKI credential mapper, auditing provider, authentication provider, and so on), the creation assistant takes the name of the provider and then returns to that provider's configuration summary page, which shows the newly added entry. However, the creation is not yet complete. You need to enter provider-specific details for it to be a valid provider configuration.
|
|
|
|
|
The JMX MBean server only allows security management operations on the runtime bean tree. The Administration Console also prevents security management operations while a pending configuration change is in progress. For example, if an authentication provider configuration is changed, the Administration Console prevents the creation of a new user for that authentication provider until the configuration change is complete, which typically requires a server re-boot.
|
|
|
|
|
Using the Administration Console search pane results in a 404 error when it is run on other than the original locale.
For example, the 404 error occurs if a French user uses the English version on the French locale.
Switch the browser's locale to en-us.
|
|
|
|
|
Web Services deployed in a Web library module did not show up in the WebLogic Server Administration Console. The problem was caused by the way in which the Administration Console attempted to look-up library modules. In some circumstances, the library module deployments did not appear.
The code that queried for library modules was updated and modifications were made to the Targetting tabs in the Administration Console in an effort to consolidate targetting functions.
| Note: |
Although the Administration Console problem has been resolved, other problems related to merged descriptors still exist. |
|
|
|
|
|
The Chooser control in the Administration Console was not disabled in Mozilla if an Edit lock was not acquired. Some Web browsers do not treat the Disabled attribute in the same manner as Internet Explorer does.
The resolution was implemented in two parts:
- Javascript is not emitted when the Edit lock is held by a Chooser control that needs to participate in single change. This change prevents items from being selected.
- Items are explicitly greyed out when the Edit lock is not held for a Chooser that needs to participate in single change. This gives the intended appearance and behavior as in Internet Explorer, even though Internet Explorer is still using the “disabled” attribute. Also, no scrollbars are shown when the control is disabled for all browsers.
|
|
|
|
|
The Administration Console did a -redeploy instead of an -update of an application regardless of whether dynamic property changes are supported or not. This means, for example, that changes to dynamic properties in resource adapters result in a full redeploy of the resource adapter/application instead of simply an update.
The resolution was implemented in two parts:
- The
redeploy action is no longer called on the Save action. Instead, the user now has the choice of explicitly invoking an update instead of redeploy for changes that are dynamic and redeploy for non-dynamic changes.
- Icons have been added to the Administration Console. These icons indicate whether changing the value of an attribute requires a redeploy of the application.
| Note: |
The first time a configuration change is saved, a redeploy action is initiated. This redeploy is required to associate the deployment plan initially with the deployment in question. But subsequent changes follow the preceding rules. |
|
|
|
|
|
The deletion and recreation of a JDBC Data Source in the same edit session results in an exception, “Bean already exists.”
The configuration code was modified to handle deleted system resource files
|
|
|
|
|
The Administration Console does not provide an option for displaying SAF Agent Log files.
This feature has been added to the Administration Console.
|
|
|
|
|
The Administration Console does not honor the value specified for the Retire Timeout Text field when updating applications that have the version as Weblogic-Application-Version in the MANIFEST.MF file. In addition, the label for the Retire Timeout Text field is showing that the time specified is in minutes but it is actually honoring the retire timeout in seconds.
The label for the Retire Timeout Text field has been changed from Retire Timeout (minutes) to Retire Timeout (seconds.
Now the Administration Console honors Retire Timeout in seconds when updating applications that have the version as Weblogic-Application-Version in the MANIFEST.MF file.
|
|
|
|
|
When the Administration Console is used to export a security realm's data to a directory and then import that data into another security realm, the two security realms need to have the exact same set of security providers (same type and same name).
If the second realm has a provider with the same name but a different default import format, the Administration Console should prevent the import. Instead, the Administration Console exported the data using the default format of the first provider and then imported the data using the default format of the second provider. For example, if the first security realm has a provider of type DefaultAuthorizer named DefaultAuthorizer, the Administration Console exported the data in the DefaultAtz format. If the second realm has a provider of type XAXMLAuthorizer named DefaultAuthorizer, the Administration Console imported the data in the XACML format. In this case, the XACMLAuthorizer silently dropped the data instead of reporting an error.
The Administration Console now records the format of the exported data and imports the data using those formats. Also, the Administration Console reports whether or not a provider has successfully imported the data.
When exporting and importing security data with WebLogic Server 9.2, the Administration Console prevents importing data from a security realm whose security providers support different formats.
If data is exported from a security realm created with a release prior to WebLogic Server 9.2 and then imported into a 9.2 domain, the formats from the original provider are not available and the Administration Console will try to import the data using the default format of the security providers in the new security realm. Security data can be dropped if the new security provider does not report an error stating it can't import the data using its default format.
|
|
|
|
|
The Administration Console could not be used to configure security on Web Service callback methods.
This feature is now available in the Administration Console.
| Note: |
This feature only applies to callback methods on POJO-JWS and not EJB-JWS. |
|
|
|
|
|
If a security-enabled Web Service is invoked with an invalid username and password, the client does not get the expected 403 forbidden error. A 500 internal error occurs.
|
|
|
|
|
If a security role or security policy definition has three or more conditions and the first condition is removed, the action fails with an exception. Similarly, if a security role or security policy definition has three or more conditions and all of them are removed, the action fails with an exception.
If you want to remove only the first condition, move the second condition up to the first position, and then remove the original first condition.
Similarly, if you want to remove all the conditions, remove all the conditions except for the first condition, then move the first condition last.
- Go to a new domain
- Select the Security->Policies tab.
- Select the View Log tab.
Initially, the security policy is: Role Admin, Role Deployer, Role Operator, or Role Monitor.
If you want to remove only the Admin role, select Deployer and move it to the first position in the list on the View Log tab, select Admin, and click Remove.
If you want to remove all the conditions, select the Deployer, Operator, and Monitor roles, and click Remove. Then select Admin and click Remove.

The 9.1 version of the Administration Console could not be used to create JMS messages for a queue because the Assistant page was read-only.
This problem has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
The Administration Console does not support a way to define a log-watch-severity element. The Watch Notification configuration page does not include form fields for configuring the Enabled, Severity, and Log Watch Severity attributes of the Watch notification.
These features have been added to the Administration Console.
|
|
|
|
|
When cloning a server using WebLogic Server 9.1, the custom keystore and SSL settings were not cloned.
This problem has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
If a user of Weblogic Server 9.1 used the Administration Console to change the domain's user lockout security policy (on the Domain->Security->Policies-> User Lockout tab), the new security policy was ignored and the previous security policy (which defaults to the Admin security role) was used instead.
The Administration Console in WebLogic Server 9.2 correctly sets the domain's user lockout security policy. However, if the domain’s user lockout security policy was changed using WebLogic Server 9.1 and the domain was then upgraded to WebLogic Server 9.2, the domain will still use the previous user lockout security policy (which defaults to the Admin security role).
|
|
|
|
|
When using the Administration Console in WebLogic Server 9.1, Managed Servers do not start and do not show up in the Administration Console after modifying the Root directory in server start.
This problem has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
In previous releases of WebLogic Server, the Administration Console could not be used to expose or hide WSDL.

|
SNMP trap data sent out by WebLogic Server Traps used to carry the local loopback address (127.0.0.1) of the SNMP agent machine, that is, the administration server machine - instead of its actual network IP address.
This problem has been resolved.
|
|
|
|
|
Two distinct MIB Entries ( safAgentRuntimeTable and safRemoteEndpointRuntimeTable) had the same OID in the MIB.
This problem has been resolved. Each entry now has a unique OID.

In the Administration Console Online Help, links to other WebLogic Server documents point to http://docs-stage/wls/docs92/, which is the wrong URL root.
After you click on a link to a WebLogic Server document, in your Web browser’s address field, change docs-stage to edocs.bea.com. For example, the following is the correct URL for the ServerMBean entry in the WebLogic Server MBean Reference:
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs92/wlsmbeanref/mbeans/ServerStartMBean.html
