# create boot properties file
${DOMAIN_HOME}/bin/createBootProperties.sh
#use boot.properties from AdminServer dir - this is necessary for weblogic.Admin to run without password
JAVA_OPTIONS="${JAVA_OPTIONS} -Dweblogic.system.BootIdentityFile=${DOMAIN_HOME}/servers/${SERVER_NAME}/security/boot.properties"
# add trust key store
SSL_ARGS="${JAVA_OPTIONS} -Dweblogic.security.SSL.trustedCAKeyStore=/weblogic/weblogic10.3/wlserver_10.3/server/lib/DemoTrust.jks -Dweblogic.security.SSL
.ignoreHostnameVerification=true"
# check if admin server is not already running
echo "Checking if admin server is not already running..."
${JAVA_HOME}/bin/java ${SSL_ARGS} weblogic.Admin -url t3s://localhost:7001 PING
Without JVM property attempt to call Weblogic without password returns following error
WebLogic server requires a valid username and password for the command that you are trying to execute. Please try again
Password and username can be encrypted by weblogic.security.Encrypt which is using domain key /app/domains/base_domain/security/SerializedSystemIni.dat

This directory holds security-related files that can be or must be different for each Oracle WebLogic Server instance. The file boot.properties is an example of a file that resides here because it can differ from one server to the next. This directory also maintains files related to SSL keys.
