Is there a way to use an encrypted password for RQMURLUtility?

Pierre Bentkowski (131●5●17) | asked May 05 '21, 10:30 a.m.

I need to call the RQMURLUtility in a PUB (RPE) template.

When doing the call I need top provide the user id and the password.

I do not want the user to provided them manual.

I can use the following PUB Internal Variable: _sessionInfo.getDatasourceProperty

When I get the password

_sessionInfo.getDatasourceProperty("aDataSource","password", "")

I get an encrypted version of the password.

Is there a way to use that encrypted password for the RQMURLUtility?

Or get a clear version of the password from _sessionInfo?

Thank you

Please use clear version of the password. it can not accept encrypted version of the password.

That defeat the whole purpose.

Doing this would mean that the user will need enter the password in clear in a PUB template variable.

Is the _sessionInfo.getDatasourceProperty can be set to return the clear password?

What is the purpose of getting a encrypted password? Who can consume it?

I cannot find it anymore.

We could created a new one.

Because of security concern, I think it will be rejected.

(Like having the password in plain text in PUB template is a better option ...)

You can not encrypt the password. You could only obfuscate it. The same with the build engines or the SCM command line.

You could use AES or something, but then you would have to know a common password, and that would have to be in the code or the script. If it was in the RQM code, it would easy enough to find it and un-obfuscate the passwords.

Both ends need to know at least some key to use encryption and that does not go away..
