Decrypt the Weblogic Password

1. Create a script decrypt_password.py in $DOMAIN_HOME/security directory and paste the following code into it:

from weblogic.security.internal import *
from weblogic.security.internal.encryption import *
encryptionService = SerializedSystemIni.getEncryptionService(".")
clearOrEncryptService = ClearOrEncryptedService(encryptionService)

# Take encrypt password from user
pwd = raw_input("Paste encrypted password ({AES}fk9EK...): ")

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

# Display password
print "Decrypted string is: " + clearOrEncryptService.decrypt(preppwd)

2. Set domain environment variables

source $DOMAIN_HOME/bin/setDomainEnv.sh

3. Get encrypted password, in this example from boot.properties file of AdminServer

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

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


4. Navigate to $DOMAIN_HOME/security directory and run the following command to start decryption:

cd $DOMAIN_HOME/security

java weblogic.WLST decrypt_password.py
