Version: Oracle Identity Manager 11g R1
Description: If you look at the OIM.USR table, you'll notice that the password column is encrypted. There are several ways to get the password decrypted. I'll be showing you how to get the decrypted password by querying from the OIM database using the tcDataBaseClient. This requires you to set the client handle with the OIMClient object. The user who is logged in for the OIMClient needs to be an End-User Administrator in order to use the tcDatabaseClient. The “Design Console Access” attribute on the OIM User Profile determines whether a user is an End-User or an End-User Administrator. Below is a java application to get all the OIM users' passwords in plain text.  Note: You can also query the OIM.PCQ table to get users' challenge questions and answers.

How to Use Grep Command

Description
The grep command searches an input for the regular expression (pattern of characters) that you specify and displays every line that contains the pattern. Your input can be one or more files or an output of a command using pipes.

Command Syntax

grep [options] PATTERN [file(s)]

OPTIONS
-n display line number of match
-i case-insensitive 
-l list only filenames that contain a match, once each
-w expression is search for as a word

Note: If your regular expression contains a special character, you must enclose it with single quotation marks because these special characters may have a special meaning to your shell. The single quotes prevents the shell from interpreting them. If you are searching against multiple files that contains the regular expression, the name of the file will be displayed in the output.
