Reason 1
Adding attribute AnonymousAdminLookupEnabled="false" in the SecurityConfiguration tag of WebLogic 8.1 config.xml restricts MBean details from getting accessed from remote machines without authentication.
Solution
Set the attribute value as false.

Reason 2
In the trial version of WebLogic, connections are restricted to a maximum of 5. So the request from Applications Manager might be blocked.
Solution
Try restarting your WebLogic instance and ensure that Applications Manager collects data before the limit of 5 connections is reached.
Reason 3
The proxy server is blocking the connection to the WebLogic server. The proxy server might have been configured to allow only HTTP requests.
Solution
Contact your system administrator.
