How can we encrypt password and send via rest message?

[Ankur Bawiskar]

Hi Swathi,

Create a system property with type as password or password2 and give your password in the value field. While sending the password to REST end point pick it from this system property and send. The password is automatically encrypted since it is of type password

Here is the wiki link saying what password and password2 fields or passwords are

Mark Correct if this solves your issue and also hit Like and Helpful if you find my response worthy based on the impact.
