OneDB Encrypted : How to decrypt an Encrypted Password on Config Parameters

Two things. First, where are you testing this? Only when the script is running in the Job Service, it is able to decrypt the strings. Second, where does the value come from that you are trying to decrypt (Sync Variable, Configuration Parameter, etc.)?

The encrypted value is a config parameter

Another question, what version are you using?

Hi Markus

I am using the 8.0.1

The code you posted does work for sync variables only.

I suggest decrypting the string with the Session.Decrypt() method.

' Caution: This only work if the script is running in the Job Service.
DecryptVal = Session.Decrypt(EncryptedString)

Again, this will only decrypt the value if the script is executed by the Job Service!

Hi Markus,

I confirm you that the script is executed by the job service.

I display the fields value on a file to be sure that they have the correct values.

But as you can see the result is not correct.

These my steps to encrypt the config parameter:

1. I put the clear value

2. I select the "Encrypt" flag

3. The value disapperar and it becames "****"

I executed the script from Designer - Process automation (this script is scheduled)

Thanks

Is your Job Service configured with the private.key so that he is able to decrypt stuff?

Do you use my code snippet or yours?

Hi Markus,

Obviously, the Job Service start using the private key generated from the DB encryption steps.

Without the private key the job service cannot start.

The code used as I wrote before is my function:

        Public Function CCC_Get_DecryptedValue(ByVal EncryptedString As String) As String

            Dim DecryptVal As String
            Dim decrypter As VI.Projector.Security.DatabaseEncryption = New VI.Projector.Security.DatabaseEncryption(Connection.Session)
            ' decryption using the Projector method
            DecryptVal = decrypter.Decrypt(EncryptedString)
            Return DecryptVal
        End Function

I deleted from your function the "Encryption" part because I don't need it.

As I've said before.

Hi Markus,

Using Session.Decrypt() method the script works fine.

Now the parameter is descrypted correctly.

Thank you very much and best regards
