Adding Test Users to Weblogics embedded LDAP

You may want to add Users in the DefaultAuthenticator that comes OOTB when Weblogic is installed for various reasons ( Providing access to Test teams or creating multiple users for performance testing etc)

Here is a simple method of creating those users

Navigate to the folder

E:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin

create a file with any name example addMyTestUsers.py

edit the file and add the following script to it and save ( note the script also adds the created users to a group someGroup )

****************************
connect ("admin","password","localhost:7001")
atnr=cmo.getSecurityConfiguration().getDefaultRealm().lookupAuthenticationProvider("DefaultAuthenticator")
users=['test1','test2','test3','test4','test5']
groups=['someGroup']
for user in users:
try:
atnr.createUser(user,'password','TestUser')
print user,': created'
except Exception, e:
print user,': exist'
for group in groups:
for user in users:
try:
atnr.addMemberToGroup(group,user)
print user,': add to group'
except Exception, e:
print user,': exist in group'

*******************************


Open a command prompt

Cd to E:\Oracle\Middleware\wlserver_10.3\server\bin
run the file setWLSEnv.cmd to set environment variables

then run the command

java weblogic.WLST addMyTestUsers.py

The script will add users that done already exist and associate them to a security group or multiple groups as per values provided

Add users to line: users=[‘ username here‘, …]
Add group names to line: groups =[‘group name here’,…]
