Anyone know the replacement for GlideEncryper's "reencryptParamForAutomation" method since its being removed?

I found a reference to 

SNC.ParameterEncrypter.encrypt(pw)

but I got an error that SNC is not defined, probably because its a scoped app.

I would rather not be sending passwords to the MID server in clear text for my custom automations.

Hi @DrewW 

You can try the approach suggested in the below post via Automation API. I tested via Background Script and it is available in global as well as in scoped app.

Thanks I missed that one. 

So this is the replacement for GlideEncryper's "reencryptParamForAutomation" method

var sncPW = new global.ScopedEncrypter().decrypt(<PASSWORD2 FIELD VALUE>);
var automation_api = new sn_automation.AutomationAPI();
var pwToPassToTheMIDServer = "" + automation_api.encrypt(sncPW);

Would be nice if SN would add a method to the ScopedEncrypter script include.
