Creating Users and Groups in Weblogic with WLST

A small blogpost how you can create users and groups with WLST scripting in Weblogic. This can be handy when you have a lot of application environments for Dev, Test ...) In WLST there is no default WLST function for creating users and groups, but in the serverConfig() we can lookup the right MBean and call the createUser, createGroup and addMemberToGroup operation.
Here is an example of the user creation phyton script.

serverConfig()

print 'lookup DefaultAuthenticator' 

password = 'weblogic1'

atnr=cmo.getSecurityConfiguration().getDefaultRealm().lookupAuthenticationProvider('DefaultAuthenticator')

print 'create group App-MHS-Users'
group = 'App-MHS-Users'
atnr.createGroup(group,group)

users = ['user1','user2']
for user in users:        
  print 'create user: ',user
  atnr.createUser(user,password,user)
  atnr.addMemberToGroup(group,user)


print 'create group App-MHS-Admin'
group = 'App-MHS-Admin'
atnr.createGroup(group,group)

users = ['admin1','admin2']
for user in users:        
  print 'create user: ',user
  atnr.createUser(user,password,user)
  atnr.addMemberToGroup(group,user)


print 'create group App-MHS-SB'
group = 'App-MHS-SB'
atnr.createGroup(group,group)

users = ['sbuser1','sbuser2']
for user in users:        
  print 'create user: ',user
  atnr.createUser(user,password,user)
  atnr.addMemberToGroup(group,user)

To run this script we need a Weblogic environment ( can be remote ) and start wlst.cmd or wlst.sh

Go to the C:\Oracle\jdevstudio111120\wlserver_10.3\common\bin folder and start wlst.cmd

connect('weblogic','weblogic1','t3://server.domainname:7001')
execfile('/oracle/wls_scripts/createDefaultUserAndGroup.py')
disconnect()
exit()
that's all.
