This process prints the password encrypted in
boot.properties file in plain text.

It can also help in

• Recovering database passwords, if JDBC Connection
pools are configured, from config.xml
• Recover the keystore passwords from config.xml and
obtain SSL certificates stored in the jks keystores.

This script works with Weblogic 8.x, 9.x and 10.x.

Process

1: Download the decryptpwd.py [ attached with this email ]
and put in under domain directory

2: chmod 755 decryptpwd.py

3: Take a backup of SerializedSystemIni.dat under
$domain/security directory.

4: cd $domains

5: cp $domain/security/SerializedSystemIni.dat . [ dot in
the last ]

6: keep password in a notepad found under boot.properties
for example {3DES}F4DwzfPMWv1iubP0eSIP0w==

7: run wlst.sh with decryptpwd.py. for example

. /tools/weblogic/92sp2/common/bin/wlst.sh
decryptpwd.py

8: It will load the CLASSPATH and will ask for

Enter encrypted password (Eg. {3DES}Y1fA34S...):

9: Pass the value found under Step 6 above and it will
print the password in clear text format.
---------------------
contents of decryptpwd.py are
from weblogic.security.internal import *
from weblogic.security.internal.encryption import *

# Remind user about how to use
raw_input("Please ensure SerializedSystemIni.dat is in the
current directory now, and press ENTER to continue.")

# Get encryption service
encryptionService = SerializedSystemIni.getEncryptionService
(".")
clearOrEncryptService = ClearOrEncryptedService
(encryptionService)

# Get user to enter password
pwd = raw_input("Enter encrypted password (Eg. {3DES}
Y1fA34S...): ")

# Remove unnecessary escape characters
preppwd = pwd.replace("\\", "")

# Decrypt the password
print "Recovered password is: " +
clearOrEncryptService.decrypt(preppwd)
