Resetting the BI System User Credential

Follow these steps to reset the BI System user credential.

In 11g a user called BISystemUser was created in the embedded WebLogic LDAP, but in 12c this user no longer exists and has been replaced with a single credential. This credential is populated with securely-generated random values at BI domain creation time and is stored in the Credential Store. If at any time you need to reset the user name or password of this credential, follow these steps.

  1. From the Fusion Middleware Control target navigation pane, expand the farm, then expand WebLogic Domain, and select bi.
  2. From the WebLogic Domain menu, select Security, then Credentials
  3. Expand the oracle.bi.system credential map, select system.user and click Edit.
  4. In the Edit Key dialog, update the user name or password using values that do not match the credentials of a user in your Identity Store.
  5. Click OK.
  6. Restart the system.
