Solved[BEA-000386]: Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user denied In OBIEE

Error: While starting BI_Server, server state changed to force shutting down with the following error.

" <Critical> <WebLogicServer> <OPQA007> <bi_server1> <main> <<WLS Kernel>> <> <> <1467614089016> <BEA-000386> <Server subsystem failed. Reason: weblogic.security.SecurityInitializationException: Authentication for user  denied "


Cause: boot.properties file is not properly set.

Solution: check whether boot.properties file is present in the below mentioned location

"/home/oracle/MWHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/security/"

If it is not there create a boot.properties file

Entries in the file

#Mon Jul 04 02:53:28 EDT 2016
password=
username=

Provide proper username and password then save the file in the

"/home/oracle/MWHome/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/AdminServer/security/"
 location.

Do the same for bi_server1

Then restart Admin and bi_server1

Then bi server can load the credentials from boot.properties file.
