Hi
- Create a system property called random.password.debug that's true/false
- Create a system property called random.password.length that's an integer of your password length
- Create a new action, call it "Generate random password"
- There are no inputs to this action
- Add a new step of the script type, call it Generate Random Password
- Set the required runtime to instance
- There are no input variables to this step
- Add a script (I've included the extract later, to keep this step-by-step easy to read)
- Create two output variables for this step
- One called generated_password that's of type "Password (2 Way Encrypted)" - this should be mandatory
- The other called generated_password_string that's of type "String" - this should be mandatory
- Add two outputs, one called randompassword (Type Password 2 way encrypted) and the other called randompasswordstring (type String) (You can make the labels of these nicer)
- Set the value of those outputs to
Now you have an action that you can reuse. The script extract for the step is below.
(function execute(inputs, outputs) {
try {
// Variables
var debugOn = gs.getProperty('random.password.debug');
var passwordLength = gs.getProperty('random.password.length');
var upperCharacters = "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ";
var lowerCharacters = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz";
var numbers = "123456789";
var regex = new RegExp("(?=.*[A-Z])(?=.*[2-9])(?=.*[a-z])");
var randomPassword = "";
var amountOfVariables = 3; // How many variables are used in the password
var isValidPassword = false;
// Functions
function getRandomInt(max) {
return Math.floor(Math.random() * Math.floor(max));
}
function generateRandomPassword() {
while (isValidPassword == false) {
// reset password if invalid
randomPassword = "";
while (randomPassword.length != passwordLength) {
switch(getRandomInt(amountOfVariables)) {
case 0:
randomPassword += upperCharacters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * upperCharacters.length));
break;
case 1:
randomPassword += lowerCharacters.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * lowerCharacters.length));
break;
case 2:
randomPassword += numbers.charAt(Math.floor(Math.random() * numbers.length));
break;
}
}
if(regex.test(randomPassword)) {
isValidPassword = true;
}
}
return randomPassword;
}
// Debug
if(debugOn == 'true') {
gs.log("Random password action start");
gs.log("Password length property is: " + passwordLength);
gs.log("Random Password is: " + randomPassword);
gs.log("Valid Password: " + isValidPassword);
}
var password = generateRandomPassword()
// Output password
outputs.generated_password = password;
outputs.generated_password_string = password;
}
catch(error) {
gs.log("Error!: " + error);
}
})(inputs, outputs);
Hi
So we have built an action called "Generate Random Password" where we pass in a number of characters as an input. We then have a script step to actually generate the password and the output of the step is the string you want to use as your password.
Then when you build a flow, you can use this string as a data pill whenever you like
So in this example, we're passing this into the AD spoke to use to reset the password, we then use the same 2==>Random Password pill later on in the notification step
(note that 6.2==>Password is the same string as the 2==>Random Password step, it's just because of how complex this flow is, it's split into multiple sub flows that we pass values between :-))
