GlideEncrypter Decryption Not Working

[lmcmanamon]

Below is a class I'm working on. I'm trying to decrypt a Client Secret, but for some reason, the sendPOST function will only return the encrypted value. Any ideas?

var laurensVSTSOauth = Class.create();
laurensVSTSOauth.prototype = {
       initialize: function() {
             var OAuthClient = new GlideRecord('u_oauth_client');
             if (OAuthClient.get('sys_id', 'c09a2bd60fccf6008e2a4b9ce1050e56'))
             {
                       this.client = OAuthClient;
             }
       },
       sendPOST: function(authorizationCode) {
             var encrypter = new GlideEncrypter();
             var clientSecret;
             clientSecret = encrypter.decrypt(this.client.getValue('u_secret'));
             return clientSecret;
       },
       type: 'laurensVSTSOauth'
};

Yes that is correct.

Hey Lauren,

  I am unable to replicate this on my end. I was able to get the decrypted value of a scoped app table in global scope. Can you try the same thing on a global table as well. Pick any user record and run this in the background script and see if it gives you the decrypted value

var gr= new GlideRecord('sys_user');

gr.get('sys_id goes here');

var encrypter = new GlideEncrypter();  

gs.print(encrypter.decrypt(gr.getValue('user_password')));

This is the output of that; it doesn't work.

Sorry my bad, user_password field on the user table is 1 way encrypted. That is why you are seeing this message. It will work with 2 way encrypted fields.

Do you have an example of a 2-way encrypted field that I could try?
