**ISSUE**: For existing WLS versions, there is a problem setting the `RotateLogOnStartup` attribute in various log file folders. The value is not persisted correctly, and the assignment will not be present when the domain is started.

**ACTION**: Contact Oracle Support to obtain the patch for bug number 29547985 for your WebLogic Server version before running the tool.

#### Discover Domain tool does not discover users or groups

**ISSUE**: Discovering a domain does not attempt to discover users and groups defined in any configured Authentication Provider type.

**ACTION**: This should only be an issue for the domains using the DefaultAuthenticator, which uses the Embedded LDAP
server that runs inside WebLogic Server as its user and group store. Oracle recommends using an authentication provider
with an external user and group store for managing users and groups. For example, a Microsoft Active Directory server
with the LDAP Authenticator or a database server with the SQL Authenticator. This allows any domain created using the
discovered model to use the same user and group store so that there is no need to export/import users and groups. If a
new user and group store is desired, these external stores natively provide export and import mechanisms for moving
users and groups. If this is not an option, then the user will need to hand-edit the discovered model file to add any
users and groups not created by default.
