Decrypting user password in business rule or script

[anand_tank]

Hi All,

There is need to decrypt user password and need to send it from ServiceNow to ITIM (IBM Tivoli identity manager) in string format.

I am trying to decrypt password with below code but it is not working as expected.

var Encrypter = new GlideEncrypter();

//var Encrypter = new Packages.com.glide.util.Encrypter();

var psw = Encrypter.decrypt(current.u_password);

I don't see decrypt function is working properly. Code is returning encrypted password only.

Any idea what's wrong here.

Thanks,

-Anand

Hi All,

I changed data type for "u_password" field, from password to password2, and it is working fine now.

var Encrypter = new GlideEncrypter();  

var encrypted = current.u_password; // current.<<your field name>>  

var decrypted = Encrypter.decrypt(encrypted);  

gs.addInfoMessage("encrypted..   " + encrypted);  

gs.addInfoMessage("decrypted..   " + decrypted);

Thanks,

-Anand

Hi,

I need decrypt password in .NET application.

means I get the user records from servicenow to my .net application via API/WSDL Web Service.

password (2 way encryption) field available in User Table.

Whenever I will fetch record via API/WSDL Web Service then I get encrypted password But actually I want decrypted password via API/WSDL Web Service.

Any helpful topic for this.

Please reply ASAP.

This worked perfectly for a solution I'd been researching.

I am trying above solution but facing below error message, what exactly the mistake am i doing?

"Invalid object in scoped script: [JavaClass com.glide.util.Encrypter]"

var Encrypter = new global.GlideEncrypter();
var decrypted = Encrypter.decrypt(target.password2);
gs.info("decrypted Password2 : " + decrypted);
