1. As root user, create group, user and folder Weblogic :
[root@orion:/root]$ groupadd weblogic
[root@orion:/root]$ useradd -g weblogic -G psoft -G bea weblogic
[root@orion:/root]$ cd /apps/bea
[root@orion:/apps/bea]$ ls
tuxedo
[root@orion:/apps/bea]$ mkdir -p weblogic/9.2
[root@orion:/apps/bea]$ chown -R weblogic:weblogic weblogic
[root@orion:/apps/bea]$ passwd weblogic
Changing password for user weblogic.
New UNIX password:
BAD PASSWORD: it is based on a dictionary word
Retype new UNIX password:
passwd: all authentication tokens updated successfully.
[root@orion:/apps/bea]$

2. Install software as weblogic user.
The weblogic's installation folder might be inside the PS_HOME directory, but since we can share the Weblogic software by multiple Peopletools and Peoplesoft applications, better to externalize the Weblogic software and do not duplicate the installation.
[weblogic@orion:/home/weblogic]$ more .bash_profile
# .bash_profile

# Get the aliases and functions
if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then
. ~/.bashrc
fi

# User specific environment and startup programs

PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

export PATH
unset USERNAME
export BEA_HOME=/apps/bea/weblogic/9.2
[weblogic@orion:/home/weblogic]$
