Help Needed : GlideEncrypter API Deprecated & not permitted beginning with the Xanadu release

[ukti]

Hi All,

We are using GlideEncrypter API to Generate Password . 

As per the KB article mentioned by ServiceNow, it says all about how to use alternatives for password2 field.

I wanted to update my script include with proper alternatives . Can somebody please help me how can i use alternative of GlideEncrypter api to generate password.

var Generate_password = Class.create();
Generate_password.prototype = {
    initialize: function() {
        
    },

    //var password='';
	encrypt : function(){
		var password = this._randomString(12, '0123456789abcdefghijlkmnopqrstuvwxyzABCDEFGHIJLKMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ@!&*#?');
		return password;
	},
    _randomString: function(length, chars) {
        var result = '';
        for (var i = length; i > 0; --i) result += chars[Math.floor(Math.random() * chars.length)];
        var encpwd = new GlideEncrypter();
        var encpwd2 = encpwd.encrypt(result);
		var decryptpwd = encpwd.decrypt(encpwd2);
        return encpwd2+":"+decryptpwd;
    },

	
    type: 'Generate_password'
};

This KB article talks about only setting the value to the password2 field but not how to use it to generate password.

Hello,

Perhaps this helps:

And good to know, not Xanadu anymore:

Please look at OOB Script Include ScopedEncrypter as an example it is using Key Management Framework as mentioned in KB Article https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1320986

1. You can either use OOB ScopedEncrypter or

2. Create new Script Include and create a new KMF module.

Hope this helps.
