Encrypting/Masking Variables in a Catalog Form (Integer field and String Field)

[shahid1]

Hi All,

We have a requirement here to make two of the catalog fields, in a form, encrypted/masked. (Basically the client wants us to make the fields look like a password field where and when user types in the text or integer it comes up in "*****" format or hidden format).

So , how to do that for a variable type string (Text Box) or Integer field? Anybody can help here?

Will that appear in the same way in the RITM form and TASK form?

And what will be the process to decry-pt or unmask it?

Thanks in Advance,

Shahid

Oops i missed this post, answer to your question

- "make it visible as "*****" in the RITM and TASK level" yes this is encryption on RITM and Task table not on form.

I have tried to do similar to your requirement

- Created a UI macro and added it on the catalog as variable with label (Type password)

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<j:jelly trim="false" xmlns:j="jelly:core" xmlns:g="glide" xmlns:j2="null" xmlns:g2="null">

<input type="password" name="somename" id="someid" />

</j:jelly>

- Created a new variable and hide it.(using catalog UI policy)

- Created a catalog client script to set the UI macro value to new variable as below

function onSubmit() {

     //Type appropriate comment here, and begin script below

     var color_id = document.getElementById('someid').value;

   alert(color_id);

   g_form.setValue('color', color_id);

}

- created a new on Before business rule on insert as below

function onBefore(current, previous) {

     //This function will be automatically called when this rule is processed.

     var current_color = current.variables.color;

     current.u_color = current_color;

}

- Created a new field (related field on RITM) on the form as "password2".

- Created a UI action on form with below code

getPass();

function getPass(){

var user = new GlideRecord('sc_req_item');   

user.get('sys_id', current.sys_id);   

gs.addInfoMessage(user.u_color);

action.setRedirectURL(current);

}

I hope this will help . Please see attached document for results

added UI Macro and created a variable on catalog item and attached it to UI Macro

label : Type Password

system name : typepassword

and created submit client script, BR and ui action.

while submit request it prompt a dialog with text given in variable

when i go to RITM it shows "UNDEFINED"

and where the system name has to be passed

I think you are missing one point here, you need to pass the value of field created by UI macro to the variable you have created. I have done it in on submit client script.

Catalog client script : ON SUBMIT

Business rule -

Table : Requested Item [sc_req_item]

when i submit request ti prompt a dialog with text given in table

and i navigate to req-> ritm

and found ui action and field on ritm
