How to create an encrypted password for the Native API
-
Hi,
I am trying to use the Native API for Otter to add a new Credential but need to provide a password that will be stored encrypted using aes128.
I am using the method Credentials_CreateOrUpdateCredential via SOAP.
I am using the key from the config file but am unable to work out the correct way to create the encrypted value. I have tried different padding modes but with no success.
Alternatively, is there a way of providing the plain text value and Otter automatically encrypt when its stored?
Many Thanks,
GaryProduct: Otter
Version: 2.1.3

Unfortunately the Native API is essentially a database wrapper, and one of the few things that can't be handled at the database layer is encryption.
While we want to create a resource credential API at some point, in the meantime, the only workaround would be to encrypt/decrypt the secrets yourself, using the Encryption Key stored in your configuration file.
