You can ONLY set the password to LDAP. You can't retrieve the password from LDAP. If the LDAP password is same as IDM, you can retrieve from IDM password.

you mean not even how we get a LDAP password in the encrypted form, as seen in a LDIF file.

Hi sankar,

If its not a one way encryption [which is very rare for any LDap] u can retrieve back the password. You can try getting back the encrypted password using :

resourceAccounts.currentResourceAccounts[$yourresourceAccount$].password

accounts[$yourresourceAccount$].password

in my case it was

accounts[AD].password

If you want to decrypt the password [if its possible], write a custom java class and then try using relevant api to decrypt and pass the encrypted password string

Below is the link which shows how to decrypt the Lighthouse password which in this case can be decrypted. I guess you can use similar technique.

I don't think you can retrieve a "clear text" password from Sun Directory Server. The Sun Directory server uses a one-way encryption for the passwords. Even an ldapsearch with Directory manager would not display the password.

You can get the encrypted password though. Do you still wish to have the the encrypted password?

If your waveset password is the same as LDAP password, I suggest you to try this: <invoke name='decryptToString'><ref>waveset.password</ref> </invoke> You can create a dummy rule to test this out.
