can data stage understand the encrypted things

[sudhakar_viswa]

Hi,

We have created one data stage server job.we will invoke this job through unix script by using dsjob command.Here we are passing some parameters to that job.one of the parameter is password,it is in encrypted form.I am passing this encrypted form as a parameter.So,can data stage decrypt the encrypted form or not.Is there any utility to decrypt the encrypted things.This is the requirement.

Thanks & Regards,

the password type is the only internal encryption that DS does and the algorithm is not published. The main purpose is to obfuscate entries so that passwords cannot easily be seen when looking at log files and entries. Jobs expected a cleartext passswords as input and then encrypt it, so you cannot pass it an already encrypted password.
