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

We have many instances of OI Manager on different hosts. On one host we created Global.cfg file with encrypted value:

<configuration>
    <category name="connections">
        <value name="database display 1">[B]asdfasdfsadfsad......[B]</value>
    </category>
</configuration>

to share DB connection without creating it manually on each host. So we copy it to different hosts and this connection appear as default when we run Manager on each host.

So my question is if it is safe to keep this connection string, Global.cfg file on SHP or somenone can decrypt it.

Thanks.

Hi Pawel,

Sorry I misunderstood your question.

Well, looking at the tool you certainly can't use that to decrypt it as it has no decrypt option.

I tried using my process to decrypt the value generated by the encryptor and it didn't work.

I can't say for sure that it's not possible to decrypt the value (whoever wrote the encryptor would need to say) but it doesn't look to be something that can easily be done.

HTH, Barry.
