Configure Change Password for Weblogic users in OBIEE 11g

Initially at my current engagement, we were using the inbuilt WebLogic LDAP for controlling user access to OBIEE 11g. We have since switched to using the EBS-ICX cookie SSO method (blog post on how to set this up coming soon), and are currently researching OID integration for SSO.

Side note, the "EBS-ICX" cookie method does not allow for use of Agents or BI Publisher within OBIEE. These are known oracle bugs, but according to the SR I had opened, they are not high on the list to be fixed.

[Update - 10/30/2013: I found a solution to this. Read my post here.]

One of the draw backs to using Weblogic for your Identity Store is that if a user wants to change their password, there is no means of doing so from within OBIEE. I searched the web, and found articles that covered parts, but not the whole thing. Continue on to read step by step instructions to get setup.

Changing password of the MDS and BIPLATFORM schemas used by OBIEE 11g

At my current engagement, we are required to change the passwords for everything every 60 days. After doing some research I found a blog post by someone who showed how to do this from Enterprise Manager, but they only covered three of the four locations to change the password. As I have mentioned previously, I like automation, so I build a script which takes care of all the tasks.

After the jump is an example script, along with the python for WLST, to perform this task.
