[8.2] Decrypt string encrypterd via VI.Config.Encryptor.exe

Hi Pawel,

When an attribute is encrypted, the only thing that can decrypt is the Job Server service.

I have done this in the past using a simple process that runs SQLComponent - Execute SQL with result.

In the parameters you mark the OutValueName as Encrypted.

In the next step I run ScriptComponent - ScriptExec where I run the script VID_Write2Log passing the second parameter as a reference to the OUT parameter from the first step, also marked as encrypted.  The script will write the decrypted value to the specified log file.

Of course it depends on what you want to use the decrypted value for.

If you want to decrypt the value in a DPRSystemVariable in a sync project then you will need to do it slightly differently - I have a script for that.

HTH, Barry.
