Encryption Functions

HI ,

Is there any document on how to configure field name, key and value in third part credentials?

 how to generate value ,is it automatically generated one ?

In The expresseion: encryptvalue(valueToEncrypt:local!phoneNumber,
externalSystemKey:"encryptdecryptkey",
scsFieldKey:"key"

), what is mean by externalsystemkey and scsfieldkey

Hello, I have encrypted a field in the appian storage tables with AES_ENCRYPT and I have stored it by transforming it to HEX to leave it as text, but I want to create a rule that allows me to decrypt that field using the decryptvalue function, but I cannot make them compatible The encryption ones, do you know of any way that the encryption in MySQL and Appian with the functions are compatible?

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
