It's triggered by a configuration mistake on LDAP authenticator provider. I was trying to register the OpenLDAP store with Weblogic Server. But by mistake, I chose "LDAPAuthenticator" as the provider type which should be "OpenLDAPAuthenticator".
I didn't realize the mistake until I restarted the Admin server and got the errors - "JPS-00027: internal error You configured a generic WLS LDAPAuthenticator".
So the admin server cannot be started because of the wrong authenticator type. But here is how to manually change the authenticator type. Target $Domain_HOME/config/config.xml, you will find the following line:
The fix is to replace "wls:ldap-authenticatorType" with "wls:open-ldap-authenticatorType". What it does is to switch the authenticator type from LDAPAuthenticator to OpenLDAPAuthenticator. Here you go, start the admin server and the error is cleared.
