Cause
The Weblogic server will not restart if the "Weblogic" user does not have permission.  This can be because the "Weblogic" user used to boot the server is not a ClearTrust user, or is not a member of the <Server>_Administrators and Administrators groups in the Access Manager datastore.  It can also occur if the user does not have permission to access resources on the application server, for example if the aserver is in passive mode.
Resolution
Ensure that there is no entilement defined in the ClearTrust entitlements manager that would prevent the user "Weblogic" from starting the server.
If the aserver setting cleartrust.aserver.authorization_mode= is set to passive all resources will be protected by default.  Change the mode to active or create entitlements for the "Weblogic" user.
Workaround
Installing the Weblogic agent.  After deploying the agent the Weblogic Server will not boot.
