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

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

Works on mac sonoma 14.4.1 and dbeaver 24.0.2.2024, thanks

Did not work for dbeaver 23.0.0 🫤

Piping the result through jq . | less formats it nicely.

The script saved my life. Thanks a lot!
Worked flawlessly with DBeaver 24.0.4.
