How to send an encrypted password from Appian to Blue Prism

Hi, 


Has anyone ever had to send an encrypted password from Appian to an external system?

In my case, I need to send an encrypted password to RPA (Blue Prism) and I have tried the encryptvalue() function of this Encryption Functions plugin  that uses the AES-256 method to encrypt, but the RPA team is not able to decrypt it from Blue Prism... I had also thought about using the native encryptedTextField() component but I don't know what method it uses to encrypt or how to obtain the key needed to decrypt from an external system.

Thanks

You can't use the encryptedTextField in this way.

Did you think of exposing the decryptvalue function as an API in Appian that Blue Prism could use to decrypt the password? Basically take the value and the key as input and send back the decrypted value?

Hi Mathieu,

I don't understand your proposal. Wouldn't it be the same as if I sent Blue Prism the password directly without encrypting?

Thanks
