Actuator health for DB doesn't work when using JSYPT encrypted password in application.properties

[amitommishra]

[amitommishra]

Build.gradle using com.github.ulisesbocchio:jasypt-spring-boot-starter

in Application.properties: spring.datasource.password=ENC(encrypted_password)

when calling actuator health it is not working. It works when i use non encrypted password.

Looks like actuator is not taking care of decryption when Jsypt is used.

Please read the documentation for jasypt-spring-boot. You cannot place an encrypted property in application.properties.

Can you please help me understand it why we cannot use as i see it mentioned same way in jsypt site

Example: datasource.driver=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver datasource.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/reportsdb datasource.username=reportsUser datasource.password=ENC(G6N718UuyPE5bHyWKyuLQSm02auQPUtm)

The documentation that I linked to above describes how to use jasypt-spring-boot. I've never used it before so I can only recommend that you read the documentation and use one of the two approaches that it describes (@EnableEncryptableProperties or customization of your application's Environment).
