Re: getting users passwords in plain text

I think i was not very clear in my email

What i want is to convert the original hashed password to plain text. I need to know that passwords because if i change them now, the weblogic guys need a weekend to rest them all. And as we don't have the time because where doing a release on production systems, this weekend i need the passwords of the users.

changing them means that during the installion of new attributes we can't keep the pools open. editing the install to run it from the system user means we have to
go back to the testing servers first and redo all testing.

About the "I have a question that's a bit unethical. "

The user's are appliction weblogic connection pool users. thats why its a bit unethical and not allot or illegal

Also because these are appliction connection users i can't brute force them as it would not be in time unlesse i got about 7.8 year per user

and the big question

I just got here and the dba before me, well lets put it this way: knew the stuff but didn't put it down anywhere. And doesn't really wanne help anymore. why? don't ask me.

tomorrow ill be at work again and ill give http://www.petefinnigan.com/weblog/archives/archive-102007.html ( see october 9th : thanks Paul Drake ) a try, ill update this mail chain with my findings.

and thank you for all the info it really helped

if anyone has anymore info or a quick fix please email
