My Journey to the cloud…

Pls follow below steps to decrypt Weblogic admin password

Step 1:- Create a file called – decryptPass.py and udpate the file with below cotents

import os
import weblogic.security.internal.SerializedSystemIni
import weblogic.security.internal.encryption.ClearOrEncryptedService

def decrypt(domainHomeName, encryptedPwd):
domainHomeAbsolutePath = os.path.abspath(domainHomeName)
encryptionService = weblogic.security.internal.SerializedSystemIni.getEncryptionService(domainHomeAbsolutePath)
ces = weblogic.security.internal.encryption.ClearOrEncryptedService(encryptionService)
clear = ces.decrypt(encryptedPwd)
print "RESULT:" + clear

try:
if len(sys.argv) == 3:
decrypt(sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2])
else:
print "INVALID ARGUMENTS"
print " Usage: java weblogic.WLST decryptPassword.py DOMAIN_HOME ENCRYPTED_PASSWORD"
print " Example:"
print " java weblogic.WLST decryptPassword.py D:/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/base_domain {AES}819R5h3JUS9fAcPmF58p9Wb3syTJxFl0t8NInD/ykkE="
except:
print "Unexpected error: ", sys.exc_info()[0]
dumpStack()
raise

Step 2:- Set Domain environment variable

cd $FMW_HOME/user_projects/domains/<domain_name>

. setDomainEnv.sh

Once it is properly set, do echo $DOMAIN_HOME and you will find it getting properly displayed

Step 3:- Get encrypted password value from boot.properties file

$ grep password $DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/boot.properties | sed -e "s/^password=\(.*\)/\1/"

{AES}udb6nZLDw24HiRRrZkojuoiLNiu/MfAIZpcU=

Step 4:- Decrypt the encrypted password obtained in Step 3 (Run the command from the location where the decryptPass.py is kept)

java weblogic.WLST decryptPass.py $DOMAIN_HOME {AES}udb6nZLDw24HiRRrZkojuoiLNiu/MfAIZpcU=
