Workflow Soluiton

Hello everyone,

After the publication of a workflow project, I notice that password properties are encrypted when published on my dev PC, but are in clear text when published on a remote workflow server. Here are sections of both properties.config file of the project:

local:

  <ApplicationProperty>
    <PropertyName>Password1</PropertyName>
    <PropertyValue>DbbkSEZv1Jx/6qYwPqtWqbixjvRdm+XuU6RovtwBj99rkyFGNQyTayvuwIDkH4DW</PropertyValue>
    <EncryptInXml>true</EncryptInXml>
  </ApplicationProperty>

on the server:

  <ApplicationProperty>
    <PropertyName>Password1</PropertyName>
    <PropertyValue>Hello123</PropertyValue>
    <EncryptInXml>true</EncryptInXml>
  </ApplicationProperty>
 

Is this the default behavior for password properties? I would like to have the password encrypted also on the server, is there a way to do this?

Thank you for reading

 

Hi, I have a same issue here. Since we have BCS paid I raised a ticket regarding that.

It seems like the issue appears when the Workflow server is being managed from SMP. When the WF server is standalone password stays encrypted after the publishing.

I’ll post an update if there is going to be any other solution.

Hi Rich_A

Another way to do that you can create a application prorpety in the Workflow Portal.

In this application property you need create a variable using the type password.

This way you can solve this problem.

Ps. The password type automatically encripty the text before save in database.

Hi, this has been addressed by development and fix should be included in next Roll-Up. Based on my case I was provided with version 7.5.6183.33 by Symantec support (Julia Yakovleva) where password property works as supposed to.
