jasypt-spring-boot: Failed to bind properties under 'spring.datasource.password' to java.lang.String`

If you were using default config before 3.0.0 (Major release, breaking changes) you need to set:

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

Since the default algorithm changed, to keep your encrypted properties. Otherwise, you have to re-encrypt your properties.

Hey guys… I faced the same problem as you all… I managed to make it work by doing the following:

• 1st: encrypt your password using PBEWithMD5AndTripleDES algorithm, example: ./encrypt.sh input="admin123" password=<myEncryptionPassword> algorithm=PBEWithMD5AndTripleDES

• 2st: After doing that, in your application.properties include these properties:

jasypt.encryptor.password=<yourPassword>
jasypt.encryptor.iv-generator-classname=org.jasypt.iv.NoIvGenerator
jasypt.encryptor.algorithm=PBEWithMD5AndTripleDES

It worked fine for me. Im using: jasypt-spring-boot-starter 3.0.3 spring-boot 2.4.2

Hope that help you guys. Cheers

I also faced the same issue. Today i tried using spring boot jasypt library for password encryption and was continuously facing the same issue. I was using version 3.0.0. I am using jasypt 1.9.3 dist. When i was going through this post to resolve my issue and when i particularly read @afrancis-incomm comment i tried changing my version from 3.0.0 to 2.1.2(downgraded) and it worked. So it seems the issue is in 3.0.0. I also gone through the jasypt-spring-boot-demo demos to find a solution given by @ulisesbocchio. The reason why this demo works may be is the version of the dependency. May be if the version points to 3.0.0 the demo may not work. Please help us with this!

This works, but the issue is that the password is now in application.properties. We don’t want that for security reasons, that’s why we use jasypt in the first place. Might as well not use jasypt at all then…

Good evening @BasBastiaansen, Yes, I added the password, algorithm and the generator in my application.properties. But I added their values loading from system enviroment variables. In my case, this was enough.

Example of my application.properties:

#SERVER CONFIGURATIONS
server.port=443
server.ssl.key-store-password=ENC(ENCRYPTED_VALUE)
server.ssl.key-store=ENC(ENCRYPTED_VALUE)
server.ssl.key-store-type=ENC(ENCRYPTED_VALUE)
server.ssl.key-alias=ENC(ENCRYPTED_VALUE)
http.port=80

#JASYPT
jasypt.encryptor.password=${JASYPT_ENCRYPTOR_PASSWORD:}
jasypt.encryptor.iv-generator-classname=${JASYPT_ENCRYPTOR_CLASSNAME:}
jasypt.encryptor.algorithm=${JASYPT_ENCRYPTOR_ALGORITHM:}

Hope I could help, Cheers

Yes, this should do it, thanks!

@ulisesbocchio I am also facing same issue while trying to use with spring security Configuration details as follows: application.properties

spring.security.user.name=user
spring.security.user.password=ENC(BcvdJW/La/AVFGjh3Yhm9Q==)
spring.security.user.roles=USER

Dependency:

<dependency>
  <groupId>com.github.ulisesbocchio</groupId>
  <artifactId>jasypt-spring-boot-starter</artifactId>
  <version>3.0.2</version>
</dependency>

Error:

***************************
APPLICATION FAILED TO START

Description:

I am passing VM Option argument as follows: -Djasypt.encryptor.password=helloworld

Note: As Gopinath2409 has mentioned - If I downgrade it to version 2.0.0 It works fine. Thank you.
