Mass migration of users through a flow

tomaslindev · ‎01-07-2025

Hi everyone,

I need your help to reset the password of several users under certain conditions, for this I have created a flow that will be executed only once and I have used the “Update password” action, using the script section of the action I have added the following script to create an encrypted password formed by the first and last name of the user plus a random number, and then add the password to the body of an email to send to each user. The flow returns this error “Error: password must not be empty (sys_script_include.c2bb80aa73126300039a2ea3c4f6a721.script; line 20)”. Any ideas?
Thank you very much and best regards.

(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
    
    var first_name = inputs.first_name; 
    var last_name = inputs.last_name;

    var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000);

    var password = first_name + last_name + randomNumber;

    var encr = new GlideEncrypter();
    var encryptedPassword = encr.encrypt(password);

    outputs.encryptedPassword = encryptedPassword;

    gs.info('First name: ' + first_name);
    gs.info('Last name: ' + last_name);
    gs.info('Generated password: ' + password);
    gs.info('Encrypted password: ' + encryptedPassword);

})(inputs, outputs);

Hi Tomas.

I tried in a Background script , its something like this. But I am not convinced of the way in which you are proposing, as it may incur in error, but if it is as indicated I recommend that you pass in an email the password if the user to avoid sending confidential information.

var first_name = "John";

var last_name = "Doe";

var randomNumber = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000);

var password = first_name + last_name + randomNumber;

if (!password) {

throw new Error('Generated password cannot be empty.');

}

var encr = new GlideEncrypter();

var encryptedPassword = encr.encrypt(password);

if (!encryptedPassword) {

throw new Error('Encryption failed. Encrypted password is empty.');

}

gs.info('First name: ' + first_name);

gs.info('Last name: ' + last_name);

gs.info('Generated password: ' + password);

gs.info('Encrypted password: ' + encryptedPassword);

*** Script: First name: John
*** Script: Last name: Doe
*** Script: Generated password: JohnDoe991
*** Script: Encrypted password: KNXvgcvr3QBKrGjyHNEceg==
