Hi @KaruppusamyN ,
You cannot rely on GlideEncrypter() in your scripts after the deprecation of DES/3DES. All related code must be updated to supported alternatives using AES and the platform’s integrated cryptography tools before Zurich, or your encryption/decryption routines will fail.
ServiceNow is in the process of fully deprecating and then removing the GlideEncrypter API (which is based on Triple DES encryption), with complete removal targeted for the Zurich release in Q4 2025
Please refer the below servicenow offical docs.
Deprecate GlideEncrypter usage of 3DES for password2 fields ,
GlideEncrypter API not permitted beginning with the Xanadu release
Thanks,
Bhimashankar
