Masked
The masked variable inserts a field that masks the text entered.
Each character entered is displayed as an asterisk (*). Use this variable to ask users for sensitive or confidential data such as passwords.
By selecting the Use encryption check box, you can configure the variable to encrypt its value using various encryption algorithms before storing in the database. These values can only be decrypted by using
now_GR.variables.var_name.getDecryptedValue() on RITM, Catalog Task, or any task extension record created using a record producer.
Remarque :
By default, the Use encryption field is set to true to ensure secure storage
of information.
On the variable editor, you can also decrypt and encrypt the values of a masked variable using the Show and Hide buttons. These buttons are not available for a fulfiller (itil) without the catalog_view_masked role. You can only view the value that you specified while requesting.
