  • Hi Jussi! Thanks again for your awesome help and communication in the past! This looks nice.

    I am having a small issue - it may be with our environment: "Expression evaluation error at function 'encryptvalue': Invalid attribute name detected in passwords.properties configuration"

    Do you have any insights into what may be causing this?

    Hi Venu,

    The plugin itself does not have a method for generating the encryption key. You can use a free online service, plenty can be found just via a Google search for "aes-256 encryption key generator". I don't want to recommend a particular one, you should check with your client/information security department to check if they have a preferred method for generating encryption keys.
