Recover password for datasource in Weblogic

  • 772

Is there a way to recover the password for a jdbc datasource, which I used in a Weblogic Application server? I could change it, but since I'm not entirely sure, where we use the database, that would be rather complicated.

I have full administrative rights for the server, so if I have to look something up, in config files etc that would be ok.

  1. I've used this with lots of success:

    http://recover-weblogic-password.appspot.com/

    Or you can do it locally - Instructions Taken from Here or Code can be found here:

    /$BEA_HOME/wlserver_10.3/common/bin/wlst.sh decryptPassword.py /full/path/to/weblogic-domain/ "{3DES}s0meCr4zyH4$hedV4lue="

  2. In weblogic config files, like config.xml or *-datasource.xml in newer versions, passwords will be encrypted.

    <password-encrypted>{3DES}oxUmxhBtdfe0h+0000oWHrl18jw==</password-encrypted>

    If your application code has some internal config in files like applicationContext.xml for Spring, you might be lucky with something of this sort

    <bean id="myDataSource"
  class="org.apache.commons.dbcp.BasicDataSource">

  <property name="driverClassName" value="oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver" />

  <property name="url" value="jdbc:oracle:thin:@x.x.x.x:1522:portaldb" />

  <property name="username" value="myUser" />

  <property name="password" value="myPassword" />

  3. this is the java version:

    import weblogic.security.internal.SerializedSystemIni;
import weblogic.security.internal.encryption.ClearOrEncryptedService;
import weblogic.security.internal.encryption.EncryptionService;


public class WeblogicDecrypt{

    public static void main(String[] args){
        String pass = "{3DES}**********";
        EncryptionService service= SerializedSystemIni.getEncryptionService("c:\\yourDomain\\");
        ClearOrEncryptedService clear = new ClearOrEncryptedService(service);
        String psw = clear.decrypt(pass);
        System.out.println("password:" + psw);
    }

}

    jars needed can be found in weblogic server lib folder
