Using encrypted password for database connection in spring boot application through spring auto configuration

Question

Trying to use encrypted database password to connect to database using spring auto configuration

I am using Spring auto configuration to connect to database. For that i added below properties in properties file:

spring.datasource.url=jdbc:oracle:thin:@ABCDE2D.com:1888:ABCDE2D1
spring.datasource.username=user
spring.datasource.password=password
spring.datasource.driver-class-oracle.jdbc.driver.OracleDriver

In my dao class, i have @Autowired NamedParameterJdbcTemplate and using it directly to get data from database.

Till here it is working fine.

Now i need to encrypt the password in properties file. For that i did the below:

1. Added jasypt-spring-boot-starter in pom
2. Added spring.datasource.password=ENC(NoIv2c+WQYF3LenN0tDYPA==) in properties file
3. Added jasypt.encryptor.password=key in properties file

Now i am getting the below error:

Failed to bind properties under 'spring.datasource.password' to  
java.lang.String:
Reason: Failed to bind properties under 'spring.datasource.password' to   
java.lang.String

I'm providing some basic guide as follows.

You need to add following two parameters in to property file in order application to work properly. This is assuming you are encrypting using default encryption algorithm. If you are useing some other, then make sure to change it accordingly.

jasypt.encryptor.iv-generator-classname=org.jasypt.iv.NoIvGenerator jasypt.encryptor.algorithm=PBEWithMD5AndDES
