Does anybody know what encryption technique OIM uses to encrypt password

Question

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to decrypt the password of xelsysadm and connect to OIM and do the updates on usr.
I need help in decrypting xelsysadm password. Please help of anybody have implemented the same in their project. What encryption method OIM uses to encrypt users password or how can we decrypt xelsysadm password?
We are implementing a webservice which will call OIM API and will do the user updates. Inside the web service, we need to first connect to OIM DB. For that SOA component BPEL is calling the webservice. I need to implement the logic of decryting oim xelsysadm password here so that it can update user attributes in IDM DB table.
I have the code but I dont know what value should I provide here in "DBSecretKey".
com.thortech.xl.crypto.*;
public class DecryptPassword
public static void main(String[] args) throws tcCryptoException
String s1 = tcCryptoUtil.decrypt("ANV/pHAm9zWfcyS0H40REg==","DBSecretKey" );
System.out.println(s1);
Plese help if anybody have implemented the same in their project.

Thanks Kuldeep for your quick response.
I got the answer for my question. We just need to give OIM user id like xelsysadm to the code and the below code works fine.
import com.thortech.xl.crypto.*;
public class DecryptPassword
ConfigurationClient.ComplexSetting config = ConfigurationClient.getComplexSettingByPath("Discovery.CoreServer");
Hashtable env = config.getAllSettings();
tcSignatureMessage moSignature = tcCryptoUtil.sign(oimUser,"PrivateKey");
tcUtilityFactory ioUtilityFactory = new tcUtilityFactory(env,moSignature);
Here Private key takes all environment variables including the password from OIM client and makes the connection. So, no issue of password encryption & decryption or specifying password in the code.
