How to Recover Weblogic Pssword in R12.2

By -

When managing Oracle E-Business Suite R12.2, system administrators often need to decrypt the WebLogic boot.properties password for troubleshooting or configuration validation. Below is a step-by-step guide to perform this securely using WLST (WebLogic Scripting Tool).

Step 1: Locate the boot.properties File


  
cd $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME/servers/AdminServer/security/
cat boot.properties

Sample Output:


username={AES}32WjQKxRgxZu23m3gohzso8sSV4IlB3xCfW+fVMLbf0
password={AES}traTrS34UEZ4bfIuDeJBFpLIjJXL+laajBDGyikOzsM=

This file stores encrypted credentials used for WebLogic Server auto-start.


Step 2: Set Required Environment


Make sure your $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME and $FMW_HOME are correctly set. In this example:


  
echo $EBS_DOMAIN_HOME
/apps/applmgr/r12/fs1/FMW_Home/user_projects/domains/EBS_domain


Step 3: Launch WLST


Navigate to the WLST location:


  
  cd $FMW_HOME/oracle_common/common/bin/
  ./wlst.sh

Once WLST starts, it will show:


  
./wlst.sh
