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)

Step2: Source wls environment file:

. $FMW_HOME/wlserver_10.3/server/bin/setWLSEnv.sh
