openssl aes-128-cbc -d -K babb4a9f774ab853c96c2d653dfe544a -iv 00000000000000000000000000000000 -in "${HOME}/Library/DBeaverData/workspace6/General/.dbeaver/credentials-config.json" | dd bs=1 skip=16 2>/dev/null

Thanks! Works on Linux too.

You can also pipe it through jq to get pretty output by appending | jq

Thanks a lot. That helped!

The script worked great on windows 10.
I have DBeaver installed from the Windows Store, and my path is:
r'C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Local\Packages\DBeaverCorp.DBeaverCE_1b7tdvn0p0f9y\LocalCache\Roaming\DBeaverData\workspace6\General.dbeaver\credentials-config.json'

A few tips for others using windows 10:
If you don't have Python installed, you can open the command line as an Administrator and type:
Python
Click enter and it will open the Windows Store with the Python 3.10 page ready to download
If you need to install pycryptodome then go back to the command line and type:
pip install pycryptodome
Click enter

Thank you very much,

I tested it, and both the python script and the openssl cmd work very well on mac.

I wonder if anyone has the openssl line to encrypt the file?

My flow would be to be able to generate connections from a script that would retrieve the data from AWS SSM.

Thanks very much for the solution.

Is it possible to re-encrypt the modified json, for example I want to update the expired passwords automatically?

Thank you so much, this script saved my day!

Thanks, works for DBeaver 22.3.0 on the Windows platform.

thank you very much) the most necessary script that should be at hand

Amazing, simple and very usefull!

for Mac OS users

openssl aes-128-cbc -d -K babb4a9f774ab853c96c2d653dfe544a -iv 00000000000000000000000000000000 -in "${HOME}/Library/DBeaverData/workspace6/General/.dbeaver/credentials-config.json" | dd bs=1 skip=16 2>/dev/null

This works almost perfectly for me. The one change I had to make was that my workspace was not named General. If you get ~/Library/DBeaverData/workspace6/General/.dbeaver/credentials-config.json: No such file or directory, then do an ls ~/Library/DBeaverData/workspace6 to find your workspace folder, then replace General in the above command.

I had a lot of connections with same DBs and sometimes same usernames, so...
If anyone need a version that gets the configuration of each connection also, I did a fork:

thanks, still works

for Mac OS users

openssl aes-128-cbc -d -K babb4a9f774ab853c96c2d653dfe544a -iv 00000000000000000000000000000000 -in "${HOME}/Library/DBeaverData/workspace6/General/.dbeaver/credentials-config.json" | dd bs=1 skip=16 2>/dev/null

Thanks! Works flawlessly in Windows + WSL2: openssl aes-128-cbc -d -K babb4a9f774ab853c96c2d653dfe544a -iv 00000000000000000000000000000000 -in "/mnt/c/Users//AppData/Roaming/DBeaverData/workspace6/General/.dbeaver/credentials-config.json" | dd bs=1 skip=16 2>/dev/null

This works like a charm!, just adding the username placeholder
openssl aes-128-cbc -d -K babb4a9f774ab853c96c2d653dfe544a -iv 00000000000000000000000000000000 -in "/mnt/c/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/DBeaverData/workspace6/General/.dbeaver/credentials-config.json" | dd bs=1 skip=16 2>/dev/null
