DBconnect 4.2.1 Unable to decrypt password

[msmadhu]

Hi

Is there any way to decrypt or retrieve the clear‑text password for an identity stored in Splunk DB Connect?

We are using Splunk DB Connect version 4.2.1. 

/opt/splunk/bin/splunk show-decrypted --value 'ax4HC6QvWnVxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'

then the output - ax4HC6QvWnVxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
echo 'ax4HC6QvWnVxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' | /opt/splunk/bin/splunk cmd openssl enc -aes-256-cbc -d -pass file:/opt/splunk/etc/apps/splunk_app_db_connect/certs/identity.dat

bad magic number

Please let me know if there is any method to obtain the password in readable (clear‑text) form.

HI @isoutamo ,

This is not working for v4. I have validated.

I don’t know if this is still working with v4? https://community.splunk.com/t5/All-Apps-and-Add-ons/Splunk-DB-Connect-How-can-I-recover-MSSQL-encry...
