This post explains the steps to decrypt weblogic password using the wlst scripts.

Navigate to <MIDDLEWARE_HOME>/oracle_common/common/bin .

Set the values for domain ,service and encryption variables where the value for domain is the path to your weblogic domain

domain = “/opt/fmw/Oracle/Middleware/user_projects/domains/soadomain/”

service = weblogic.security.internal.SerializedSystemIni.getEncryptionService(domain)

encryption = weblogic.security.internal.encryption.ClearOrEncryptedService(service)

In another tab, Navigate to the security (<DOMAIN/servers/AdminServer/security>) folder to copy the encrypted password you want to decrypt.

Open boot.properties

To decrypt weblogic password , copy the value for password from the boot.properties file.

Replace the the value of <encrypted_value> with the copied value from boot.properties in the below command

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

print “Weblogic server Admin password: %s” %encryption.decrypt(“{AES}xblewzHC24u541QNckPwWoPNd+aaFxc387UmNvjrlEM=“)

The weblogic password will be displayed.
