  1. In a text editor, open the xmlfile from the domain folder. The config.xml file is in the Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/domain_name/config directory.
  2. Locate the <security-configuration>
  3. Add the following argument to the end of the <security-configuration>element:

<enforce-valid-basic-auth-credentials>false</enforce-valid-basic-auth

-credentials>

  1. Start or restart all of the servers in the domain.
