Hi to all, I'm coding a robot that need to login on an Appian application. I pass to this robot some credentials as instructions (parameters), so username and password. The password is an a!encryptedTextField() result. How can I decrypt this password in the code of the robot to pass the login step?
Should I pass the passwords in clear text to the robot instead, as a string format?
Thank you

Hello Antonio,
When using credentials in a robot, we recommend to use the Appian RPA Credential's Vault instead of the instructions. If you want to now how to use them you can read here: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.2/rpa/console/robotic-processes.html#credentials to see how to create a Credential and here: https://docs.appian.com/suite/help/20.2/rpa/modules/client-module.html#ijidokaserver to learn how to retrieve the credential from within the robot.
Also, don't forget to match a permission of the credential with one of the robot's permissions so the robo has access to it.
Thanks
