Hello, we are not able to bring up BI (11.1.19) application after change the AD user password for "oracle.bi.system" in AD and em console,

now even we switch to use "local user" BISystemUser, but get the same error in bi managed server logs:

    @User_27DEY - The BISystemUser is a system account created during the OBIEE 11g installation and configuration process. It is meant to reside in the WebLogic embedded LDAP and is used internally by the system for inter-component communication.

    This user should not be and cannot be updated to use external LDAP or Active Directory credentials. Attempting to do so may cause startup failures or internal authentication issues.

    If you recently changed the password in Active Directory or linked this user to AD, please try resetting the password back to the original value used before the change, and then restart the BI services.

    For detailed instructions on how to resolve this issue, please refer to the document below:
