Update "RmiJDBCSecurity" to "Secure" value is not working in WLS 12.2.1.4

[Michalski-Piotr]

Hello,
I have another issue with WDT 2.3.2. There is new security warning in case RmiJDBCSecurity is set to default "Compatibility" setting. There is are recommendation to update this Mbean property to "Secure". I'm trying to achieve that with WDT and below model file:

topology:
    Server:
        AdminServer:
            DataSource:
                RmiJDBCSecurity: "Secure"

But despite fact WDT updateDomain.sh is completing without any error, the RmiJDBCSecurity is still set to "Compatibility", when I'm checking with WLST:

wls:/o2c-domain/serverConfig/Servers/AdminServer/DataSource> cd ('AdminServer')
wls:/o2c-domain/serverConfig/Servers/AdminServer/DataSource/AdminServer> ls ()
...
-r--   Name                                         AdminServer
-r--   Notes                                        null
-r--   RmiJDBCSecurity                              Compatibility
...

I extracted oracle/weblogic/deploy/aliases/category_modules/Server.json and I see below:

"RmiJDBCSecurity":   [ {"version": "[10,12.1.2)", "wlst_mode": "both",    "wlst_name": "Rmi${Jdbc:JDBC}Security", "wlst_path": "WP001", "default_value": "Compatibility",  "wlst_type": "string",          "get_method": "LSA", "restart_required": "true" },

Does it mean the change is only possible in WLS version 10 and 12.1.2, please?

I appreciate for help.

@enduro99kb No, you extracted only a portion of the alias for RmiJDBCSecurity. The full alias is shown below and simply says that the first entry is used if the WLS version is less than 12.1.2 and the second entry is used if the version is greater than or equal to 12.1.2...

"RmiJDBCSecurity":   [ {"version": "[10,12.1.2)", "wlst_mode": "both",    "wlst_name": "Rmi${Jdbc:JDBC}Security", "wlst_path": "WP001", "default_value": "Compatibility",  "wlst_type": "string",          "get_method": "LSA", "restart_required": "true" },
                       {"version": "[12.1.2,)",   "wlst_mode": "both",    "wlst_name": "RmiJDBCSecurity",   "wlst_path": "WP001", "default_value": "Compatibility",        "wlst_type": "string",          "restart_required": "true" } ],

One thing to note is that a restart is required for the change to be effective. Did you restart the server after making this change?

[robertpatrick]

User confirmed that restarting the server solved the issue, though there might be an issue where the tool is not correctly reporting that a restart is required.

Hello,
there is no bug here.

Yesterday I was doing multiple model files tests, today I run one more time the test and everything is working fine, exit code is correct one.

Before the change:

wls:/o2c-domain/serverConfig/Servers/AdminServer/DataSource> cd ('AdminServer')
wls:/o2c-domain/serverConfig/Servers/AdminServer/DataSource/AdminServer> ls ()
...
-r--   Name                                         AdminServer
-r--   Notes                                        null
-r--   RmiJDBCSecurity                              Secure
...

WDT model file:

[oracle@o2c-domain-as bin]$ cat ~/domains/shared/pm/RmiJDBCSecurity_compatibility.yaml
topology:
    Server:
        AdminServer:
            DataSource:
                RmiJDBCSecurity: "Compatibility"

And output is confirming the correct exit code and required restart:

Thank you very much for your help in checking as suggesting the restart yesterday.
