Disabling Password Encryption on ISIM (DB,LDAP,WebSphere)

I have been really really busy that i have not been able to post anything in this blog.... I am back now and will be posting at least once in a month. So i been working recently on pasword related issues and got a few good ones on how to decode or disable password encryption on ISIM. These are the steps to do it: To disable encryption and configure DB, LDAP and Application Server user passwords in ISIM 6.x as plaintext, make the following modifications: For DB user: - to disable password encryption, set enrole.password.database.encrypted= to false in enRole.properties - to set plaintext password for Database user (database.db.user), type plaintext password for database.db.password= value in enRoleDatabase.properties For LDAP user: - to disable password encryption, set enrole.password.ldap.encrypted= to false in enRole.properties - to set plaintext password for ldap Principal (java.naming.security.principal), type password for java.naming.security.credentials= value in enRoleLDAPConnection.properties For Application Server users: - to disable password encryption, set enrole.password.appServer.encrypted= to false in enRole.properties - to set plaintext password for WebSphere administrator (enrole.appServer.systemUser), type password for enrole.appServer.systemUser.credentials= value in enRole.properties - to set plaintext password for ISIM system user (enrole.appServer.ejbuser.principal), type password for enrole.appServer.ejbuser.credentials= value in enRole.properties Once those changes are made, runConfig will work and you can re-enable encryption back on the Security tab of the System Configuration panel.
