How can we encrypt password and send via rest message?

Hi Swathi,

Got your requirement. So you should be calling the REST message from some server side script. So I am telling to fetch the password for the user from his password field of sys_user. Since the field is a password type it should be automatically be encrypted. So in this way you can send encrypted password and not a plain text. I hope you understand what I mentioned.

The user password field is empty, we don't have his password in SNOW.
