Encryption Functions

Hello - Can I know what version a JUnit we can use to run the unit tests in the Encryption Functions plugin?

Also, what version of JDK used to develop?

I'm getting the following error trying to run the testEncryptedValueCanBeDecrypted test

internal Error occurred.

I know the description above states that this plug-in supports encryption/decryption of plain text data but is there any reason why it would not work on other data types? In particular I'm thinking of date fields, e.g. used for Date Of Birth (I assume the encrypted value would have to be stored as text anyway). Or would you need to convert the date field to text before passing it to the encryptvalue() function?

Is there any way to check whether text is already encrypted or not?

Hi,

i am trying to add a validation inside the a!encryptedTextField(), is there a way to add validations?

there is no parameter for "validation".

if you suggest that will be helpful.

a!localVariables(
local!accountNumber,
{
a!encryptedTextField(
label: "Bank Account Number:",
labelPosition: "ABOVE",
value: local!accountNumber,
saveInto: local!accountNumber,
refreshAfter: "UNFOCUS",
required: true,

),
}
)

Hi Maciej Borkowski, glad you got it resolved. You are correct in that using a!encryptedTextField() is only supported with the native encryption APIs using the Appian generated key. The Encryption Functions plug-in needs to always be used with regular text fields and other components.

Ok, I got it resolved, it seems we cant use encryptedTextField() when encrypting, it worked with simple textField()

I forgot to add that I am using default systemkey and fieldkey for the test purposes.

Dear Community,

I am doing a little test of the Encryption Functions plugin.

My ultimate target is to encrypt certain text, save it to the database, and be able to decrypt it back on the user interfaces.

To test the functionality I did a small test. First box is saving encrypted text to the rule input, and second box is decrypting it and show.
Unfortunately, instead receiving the string 'Test', I am receiving another string of characters to what was saved into the rule input.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thank you very much in advance for your help,

Best Regards,
Maciej

okay, then we have to clarify this with appian. Thank you.

, this plug-in is available for install and use in Appian Cloud. Note that all plug-ins are provided as-is and without explicit troubleshooting support from Appian Technical Support, but it is available to install and use in an Appian Cloud environment just like on premise.
