## Attributes

Table 272-1

Attribute Label | Description | Value Constraints
--- | --- | ---
Java Home | The Java home directory (on the Node Manager machine) to use when starting this server. Specify the parent directory of the JDK's `bin` directory. For example, `c:\bea\jdk141`. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ServerStartMBean` Attribute: `JavaHome` |
BEA Home | The BEA home to be used to start this server. Specify the directory on the Node Manager machine under which all BEA products and licenses were installed. For example, `c:\bea`. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ServerStartMBean` Attribute: `BeaHome` |
Root Directory | The directory this server uses as its root directory. For more information, refer to "A Server's Root Directory." If you do not specify a Root Directory value, the default Node Manager working directory is used (generally WL_HOME`\common\nodemanager`). MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ServerStartMBean` Attribute: `RootDirectory` |
Class Path | The full class path required to start this Managed Server. Note that all paths refer to paths on the Node Manager machine. At a minimum you will need to specify the following values for the class path option: `WL_HOME``/server/lib/weblogic_sp.jar;``WL_HOME``/server/lib/weblogic.jar` where `WL_HOME` is the directory in which you installed WebLogic Server on the Node Manager machine. The shell environment determines which character you use to separate path elements. On Windows, you typically use a semicolon (`;`). In a BASH shell, you typically use a colon (`:`). For more information about class path requirements, refer to "Setting the Classpath."server. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ServerStartMBean` Attribute: `ClassPath` |
Arguments | The startup arguments to pass to the JVM when starting this server. These are the first arguments appended immediately after java portion of the startup command. For example, you can set Java heap memory or specify any WebLogic Server argument described in "weblogic.Server Command-Line Reference." Separate arguments with a space. Note: Do not use this attribute to specify the password that is required to start this server instance; WebLogic Server does not encrypt the value of this attribute. Instead, specify the password `Password` attribute, whose value is encrypted before being saved to the `config.xml` file. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ServerStartMBean` Attribute: `Arguments` |
Security Policy File | The security policy file to use when starting this server. Enter the full path to the WebLogic security policy file on the Node Manager machine. For example, `c:\bea\weblogic810\server\lib\weblogic.policy`. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ServerStartMBean` Attribute: `SecurityPolicyFile` |
Username | The name of an existing user who has privileges to start a server. For information on user privileges, refer to "Security Roles." The Administration Console and Domain Configuration Wizard insert a user name in this field when you create a Managed Server. The Administration Console inserts the user name that you supplied when you logged in to the console. The Domain Configuration Wizard inserts the user name that you defined when you created the domain. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ServerStartMBean` Attribute: `Username` | Default: ""
Password and Confirm Password | The password of the username used to boot the server. MBean: `weblogic.management. configuration. ServerStartMBean` Attribute: `Password` | Default: "" Encrypted: yes
