Recovering the data source password
The same way that the WebLogic Administrator password is recoverable, the data source
password can be retrieved as well.
In this recipe, the ds-nonXA data source with the JNDI name jdbc/non-XA will be used to
retrieve the password.
Getting ready
The encrypted password must be retrieved from the JDBC configuration files in the $DOMAIN_
HOME/config/jdbc directory. To decrypt the password, use WLST.
How to do it...
Carry out the following steps to recover the data source password:
1. Log in as a wls user to shell and open the $DOMAIN_HOME/config/config.xml
file to get the JDBC configuration filename.
[wls@prod01]$ cd $DOMAIN_HOME/config
[wls@prod01]$ vi config.xml
2. Locate the <jdbc-system-resource> tag of the ds-nonXA data source and get
the descriptor filename.
<jdbc-system-resource>
<name>ds-nonXA</name>
<target></target>
<descriptor-file-name>jdbc/ds-nonXA-jdbc.xml</descriptor-
file-name>
</jdbc-system-resource>
3. Open the JDBC file:
[wls@prod01]$ vi jdbc/ds-nonXA-jdbc.xml
4. Locate the <password-encrypted> tag and copy the password.
<password-encrypted>{AES}PASSWORD_ENCRYPTED</password-
encrypted>
