How to Decrypt/Encrypt WebLogic and Datasource Password via WLSDM?

We prepared how to decrypt WebLogic passwords and how WLSDM decrypt WebLogic passwords(even other domains passwords) easily.

Where do we use this feature?

Consider a scenario you have one domain cloned by another domain and you have to add datasources to new domain. In this scenerio use WLSDM Decrtypt/Encrypt feature and get WebLogic data source username and passwords quickly !

1.The OLD way; wlst scripts!
2.WLSDM Feature: Decrypt/Encrypt WebLogic passwords
3.WLSDM Feature: Decrypt WebLogic passwords

Lets see How its works step by step!

1. The OLD way; wlst scripts!
Navigate to /oracle_common/common/bin
Execute the wlst.sh

You will get WLST prompt in offline mode. Than set the following variables. (Replace the domain path with yours)

domain = “/home/madops/oracle/domains”  
service = weblogic.security.internal.SerializedSystemIni.getEncryptionService(domain)  
encryption = weblogic.security.internal.encryption.ClearOrEncryptedService(service)

Now we have to find our encyrpted password. Execute the below command to find your encrypted password.

grep -R “{AES}”

Note: encrypted code starting with AES you can find in a boot.properties file.

Replace the the value of with the copied value from boot.properties in the below command;

print “Weblogic server Admin password : %s” %encryption.decrypt(“<encrypted_value>“)

Finally the WebLogic password will be display.
