I use "DB navigator" plugin(https://plugins.jetbrains.com/plugin/1800-database-navigator/) for my Intellij IDEA Community version quite some time and am very satisfied.
I want to know the password of my DB connection saved in the plugin. They are saved, they are there, but I cannot share it with my teammates.
Even all the IDEA passwords are set to be stored in the system keyring, I don't find them in seahorse, i.e., "Passwords and Keyrings" application in my Ubuntu.
Where are they?
At last, I found it in
<project_root>/.idea/dbnavigator.xml
search your connection name, and you will see sth like this:
<connection id="e208f307-8c08-45d5-93fd-958c1d68d049" active="true">
<database>
<name value="UAT" />
<description value="" />
<database-type value="ORACLE" />
<config-type value="BASIC" />
<database-version value="11.2" />
<driver-source value="BUILTIN" />
<driver-library value="" />
<driver value="" />
<url-type value="SERVICE" />
<host value="some-host" />
<port value="1523" />
<database value="APP_DB" />
<type value="USER_PASSWORD" />
<user value="admin" />
<deprecated-pwd value="<base64-encoded-password>" />
</database>
...
</connection>
So, I tried to base64 decoded them... and it works...
Please, if the author sees this, please don't encrypt it in the future versions; I need them to be in my local so that I don't have to ask my teammates again; too shy am I. Please take into consideration that I created the tag db-navigator for the first time while asking this question, so that ppl around the world could gather together with love of this plugin.
And, any coder reading this: please ignore this file in Git, as it contains sensitive data.
