ENCRYPT_B64, DECRYPT_B64

Rennur

Is the ENCRYPT_B64, DECRYPT_B64 used in a process?

Where do you encrypt the link?

Rennur

Do we just create a new BO and to store all encrypted links?

This is explained in the 5.7 User Guide

Rennur

User guide p83.

All the above parameters encrypted using the ENCRYPT_B64 function
This parameter should be used if you don’t want users to see values of other parameters, for example, password object ID’s etc.

Fair enough.

In this case you can encrypt all parameters

Using a new BO and a process to create and store the 'e' encrypted string for later use?
Can someone please give me an example of how you would email a login URL containing encrypted login paramaters.

and then use the encrypted string as a value of the “e” parameter, for example:

DISPLAY URL ‘localhost:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.aw?e=ENCRYPT_B64(‘domain=MyBusinessSpace&firstCommand=command&etc&etc)

I'm lost. When would the action DISPLAY URL be used?

FUNCTION:
ENCRYPT_B64, DECRYPT_B64
An attribute of the Plain Text type or an expression producing a string

Is this a plain text attribute used to store the encrypted string.

Example:
DISPLAY URL ‘logonOp.aw?e=ENCRYPT_B64(‘domain=Test&userName=john&password=123’)

How would the DISPLAY URL action store the encrypted string?

Would this work?
BOmyEncryptions.EncryptedString=ENCRYPT_B64(BOmyEncryptions.LoginParameters)

Cheers

Thank BoB for posting how you have used this function.
Find the post here:

1) Basically you create new BO to store the encrypted links. Use BO Rules to encrypt a string.

2) DISPLAY URL to be used with process rules to send notifications with the encrypted URL

Can anyone think of a way that this could be used for someone logging onto an application using the standard logons available?

You don't need to use DISPLAY URL for this. You can assign the result of encryption to some attribute, so that you can look it up if necessary, write down the resulting URL (http://YourServerName:8080/AwareIM/logonOp.aw?e=ENCRYPTED_STRING) and then do what you want with this URL:

you can give it to customers
put it in Favourites
provide a redirection that will use a friendly URL redirected to that one
use it in rules (for example, in DISPLAY URL)
etc etc

RocketRod

So I guess what you are saying is that:

We would stop using the standard logons and resort to URL strings.
Every time a user changes their password we would issue them with a new URL to log on which they would then copy into their favorites, create a shortcut or whatever.

Is that it?

Yes.

The old un-encrypted format will still work, though

RocketRod

OK got it now.

Thanks
