Getting Password stored in Portlet credential vault   

Hi,

I am storing the User ID and Password from my Portal page to the Credential Vault. While retreiving back the password from credential vault, I am getting it in some encrypted/encoded format. For example if i send the value "ew12345" as password I am getting back "[C@46effee5" from the credential vault.

I want to know how to get the original password or how to decode this password to my original password that I initially stored in credential vault:

I am using the following code to set the password to credential vault:

---

ObjectID segmentID = vaultService.getDefaultUserCredentialSegmentId();
Map descripMap = new Hashtable();
Map keywordMap = new Hashtable();
int secretType = vaultService.SECRET_TYPE_USERID_STRING_PASSWORD_STRING;
boolean active = false;
boolean portletPrivate = true;

CredentialSlotConfig slot= vaultService.createCredentialSlot("SSO1", segmentID,descripMap, keywordMap, secretType, active, portletPrivate, request);

vaultService.setCredentialSecretUserPassword(slot.getSlotId(),"ev12345","ev12345".toCharArray(), request);
pre.store();

---

I am using the following code to retrieve the password back from credential vault:

---

credential=(UserPasswordPassiveCredential)vaultService.getCredential(slotid, "UserPasswordPassive", new HashMap(), request);
String userID = credential.getUserId());
String password = credential.getPassword().toString()); // This returns encoded pwd

---

Kindly let me know how to get the original password / password in decoded format from credential vault. Its very urgent.....

Thanks,
