Hi,

I lost the ldap bind password used in my deployment and look for a way to retrieve it.

It seems there’s a kind of way to do it , but only find a guide for “standard” credentials

# awx-manage shell\_plus

> > > from awx.main.utils import decrypt\_field  
> > > cred = Credential.objects.get(name=“my private key”)  
> > > print(decrypt\_field(cred, “ssh\_key\_data”))

Is there someone who could guide me in the right direction please ?

Thanks,

Regards,
